Tax on Taxes Dropped From Senate Tax Plan
The Senate finance committee in a stormy session eliminated a "tax on taxes" from its revised corporation tax plan. It would have taxed undistributed earnings at 7 percent, reducing projected revenue by about 40 million dollars. Committee leaders say the compromise aims to raise about 629 million in a year and 529 million in following years, with President Roosevelt seeking 792 million annually for three years and 620 million thereafter. Chairman Harrison notes further changes may restore the goal while avoiding an increased normal income tax rate.
