House Group Favors Sales Tax Levy
Washington report says the House Ways and Means Committee backs an $8.7 billion tax goal but warns it cannot be met without a form of excise tax. Chairman Ploughton and committee members allegedly pressed Morgenthau to accept consumption taxes, with Treasury recommendations proposing a $1.34 billion rise in excise taxes. The panel, after over three months, aims to present a bill soon, facing Senate review and possible year-end passage. Higher taxes for individuals and corporations appear certain, with corporate tax hikes and a revised excess profits rate, and personal exemptions cut, though all decisions remain tentative as the full bill is refined.
