Tax Bill Faces Battle Over Salary Publicity Feature
Washington March 9 Indications point to a major clash over the salary publicity provision of the tax bill. The section would compel the treasury to publish lists of all persons paid 75,000 dollars or more annually by corporations. House actions last year repealed publicity for salaries of 15,000 dollars or more, but administration backers blame repeal pressure and argue for disclosure for 75,000 and up. The debate highlights the fight over taxing closely held firms and the bill’s broader reforms to corporate and capital gains taxes.
