Loss Carryover Plan Aims At New Deal Tax Relief
Washington officials outlined a possible corporate income tax plan allowing losses from bad years to offset profits in good years. The idea, similar to 1921 29 rules, would require careful calibration to avoid Treasury costs. Advocates say it supports tax fairness, while maintaining higher brackets and other business friendly changes. The Treasury also weighs consolidating corporate taxes into a single levy and repealing the undistributed profits tax.
