80 Per Cent Tax On War Profits
Washington report on the House ways and means committee's near completion of the $8 billion war revenue bill. The McAdoo profits tax plan of 80 percent is favored over Kitchin, with 10 to 60 percent excess profits levies and a normal profits tax of 18 percent on undistributed profits and 12 percent on distributed profits. Installment payments proposed to prevent tax payment shocks, and extensive new taxes on incomes, excess profits, liquor, and luxury items outlined. The bill aims to raise the required revenue without a general sales tax, with escalating federal inheritance taxes to fund the gap, and a major fight anticipated over estate taxes above $1 million.
