Flat Rate Normal Corporation Tax Of 15% Suggested
Ellsworth C. Alvord of the U S Chamber Committee on Federal Finance urged Congress to adopt a flat 15 percent normal corporate tax and repeal the undistributed profits levy. He proposed a $2000 credit for small incomes and outlined several reform points including loss carryovers, simplified capital gains rules, consolidated returns for affiliated groups, and exempting intercorporate dividends from tax. The program reflects Treasury and Congress review aimed at reducing business obstacles.
