Congress Extends Tax Rates 15 Months to 1958
Congress completed action on a bill to extend business income and excise taxes for 15 months. The measure moves to President Eisenhower for signature to avoid a scheduled April 1 rate cut. The 15 month renewal keeps the 52 percent corporate tax and current excise taxes on cigarettes alcohol autos and parts through July 1 1958. Some lawmakers oppose another extension next year while small business relief proposals linger for possible action later this year.
