Truman to Seek About 10 Billion Dollar Tax Hike Friday
President Truman plans to ask Congress for roughly 10 billion dollars in higher taxes in his special message to Congress on Friday. Sources say a 6 billion dollar increase will follow later from his economic team at the White House. The plan includes about 4 billion more in individual income taxes via a four point rise in rates, a corporate tax-rate increase from 47 to 99 percent, roughly 2 billion in higher excise taxes, and closing loopholes to raise about 1 billion more. Authorities note tax changes would target savings banks, corporate dividends withholding, and tighter depletion allowances for oil and gas.
