Corporation tax policy sparks debate in House
Washington June 20 Chairman Doughton of the House Ways and Means says a 438 million dollar corporate tax boost in the general tax bill is too far. He opposed it personally but joined 14 Democrats supporting it while 10 Republicans stood against. If he opposes on the floor it could swing a close vote. The bill also cuts excise taxes by 1.01 billion dollars and aims to offset that with higher corporate taxes. Doughton favors closing loopholes and seeks more revenue without raising taxes on corporations broadly.
