Tax treaty ratified after Senate rejection of Church reservation
The Senate voted 82 to 5 to ratify a tax treaty with Great Britain after striking a Church amendment that would limit state taxation of foreign corporations. A separate blow Friday defeated the Church reservation by 44 to 34, prompting Treasury remarks that a treaty with the Church provision might be preferable to none. The pact, signed in the Ford era, aims to curb double taxation and tax evasion and includes a refund provision for U.S. investors totaling about 375 million dollars for 1973 to 1978 and 30 million dollars annually thereafter.
