Lower Tax Rate In County Forecast Democratic Tax Leaders To Push Excise Slashes
Democratic tax managers moved to push through a House bill slashing excise taxes by about 16 million dollars a year while boosting corporation taxes to offset gains. The Ways and Means Committee approved roughly 433.9 million dollars in new taxes to meet President Truman’s offset requirement. If enacted, small corporations earning 5 000 to 167 600 would see excise relief, while large corporations face a near 41 percent income tax rate. Administration leaders expected a White House handoff before adjournment and prompt House approval. Proposed cuts would target items like fur coats, movies, jewelry, travel tickets, luggage, telephones, tires, and baby bottle warmers. The committee also considered speeding up corporate tax payments.
