Business Relief Tax Measure To Be Passed Soon
A new business relief tax bill drafted by the House Ways and Means subcommittee aims to repeal the undistributed profits tax and restore older corporate tax practice. Provisions include a flat 18 percent corporate rate, loss carryovers for two years, upward stock valuation adjustments, and removal of a $2000 cap on corporate capital loss deductions. The measure reflects Treasury proposals and enjoys likely unanimous committee backing with Republican support.
