Tax Writers OK Hike For Corporations
The House Ways and Means Committee tentatively approved a 2.08 billion dollar increase in corporation taxes and a five point across the board rate rise. The Administration had sought eight points and 3.3 billion yearly. Together with yesterday’s 3 billion increase in individual taxes, the panel has identified over 5 billion of the 10 billion Truman sought to fund defense on a pay as you go basis. The plan cuts into lower brackets with a roughly 15 percent average hike for basic taxpayers and about three percent for the $500,000-a-year class. The committee split 13 to 12 on the corporate hike with two Democrats opposing. a party line vote blocked a 10 percent across the board plan. If approved, a married man with two dependents earning 5 thousand would pay about 598 yearly, up from 520. a ten thousand income would rise to 1820 from 1592. Individual rate increases already took effect last October. Measures to aid single families and widows would mirror roughly half the benefit given to married couples under income splitting rules.
