Truman Plans Excise Tax Cut Paid By Higher Corporate Taxes
President Truman plans to urge Congress to cut excise taxes by about 750 million dollars annually while raising corporate taxes to offset the loss. A 1 billion dollar increase in corporate taxes is anticipated along with higher estate and gift taxes and tighter tax loopholes. Overall federal revenue could rise by about 1 billion, though timing may affect 1951 fiscal year results. The plan also targets lowering excise rates on furs jewelry luggage cosmetics to 10 percent and reducing long distance telephone calls from 25 to 15 percent, passenger tickets from 15 to 10 percent, and repealing the 3 percent freight shipments tax. Corporate taxes would be raised from 25 to 38 percent.
