Senate Finance Committee Dims Administration Tax Plans
Washington Sept 28 The Senate Finance Committee revises the House tax bill, delaying excess profits and higher surcharges to 1922 and boosting corporate rates to 15 percent while repealing capital stock tax and restoring several duties. It preserves some House provisions but adds new deductions for charity and cuts travel expense exemptions, signaling a sharp departure from pre election promises. The committee notes many minor changes and predicts substantial differences from the House bill when finally reported.
