Combinelion excess profits tax bill debated in Congress
Washington reports show leaders hopeful the House would pass the proposed excess profits tax bill before adjournment. The measure would tax profits from 29 to 50 percent and allow deductions for defense expansion costs over five years to offset orders. It also would suspend the present one per cent cap on profits from government orders for certain vessels. Unofficial estimates peg the revenue around 300 thousand dollars, against earlier projections of about 199 thousand.
