Tax Revision Bill Rushes Senate Passage
Washington June 20 The house approved by one dissenting vote a business tax revision bill aimed at repealing the undistributed profits tax and extending excise levies two years. The measure would also tweak loss carry overs and capital stock valuations while preserving three cent postage and other excises to sustain revenue. The senate plans no hearings and expects quick passage to keep tax collections steady.
