Tax Action Delayed By Committee
Washington Pi A dispute between defense officials and the treasury over amortization provisions prompts the senate finance committee to delay final action on the excess profits tax bill until next week. Chairman Harrison says representatives will be called in Monday to seek a compromise. The committee aims to simplify the House plan with a flat 8 percent rate on excess profits based on invested capital. The House exempts a 7 percent return on the first 3.5 million of invested capital and 5 percent on amounts above that. Senator George and colleagues expect a compromise on the amortization provision to be reached today.
