Tax Shifts May Change How Money Is Raised
New tax developments could alter business finance by easing double taxation on earnings and dividends and ending the excess profit tax this year.

If enacted by 1956, stockholders could retain about a billion more dollars from dividends, brightening the case for common stocks. Investment bankers predict a shift in corporate financial strategies as a result.
