Abandon Tax Plan Wins Out In House Subpanel
The House Ways and Means subcommittee abandoned its proposal to tax state and municipal salaries or to tax interest from tax exempt securities after reviewing Monday Supreme Court rulings. Chairman Fred M. Vinson said estimates showing potential annual revenue of 155 million were rejected. The Dravo decision, while taxing profits of federal contractors, apparently closed the door to taxing government salaries or securities, and no recommendations along those lines will be made.
