Corporations face steep cut in assessed values officials say
President Purdy of the Department of Taxes and Assessments announced a dramatic drop in tentative corporate assessments from 1,683,538.40 last year to 225.85 this year. He expects higher final collections as assessments now reflect actual capital paid in rather than nominal stock values. The process shifts include state and city property totals and exclude goodwill. The next hearing starts Monday at 2 PM.
