Tax revisions amid White House talks outline revenue cuts
House Ways and Means Committee Republicans led by Fordney outlined repeal of the excess profits tax and related measures. The plan includes raising corporate income taxes to 15 percent, preserving the carry of some exemptions, and trimming war era expenditures by about 4 billion dollars to fund a revised revenue plan. A key aim is retroactive tax relief starting last January with broader reductions in transportation taxes and slowed public debt payments, targeting passage before August recess.
