Senate Votes Heavy Tax On War Gains
The Senate approved defense tax legislation after resisting administration pleas for a non controversial revenue bill. The plan lowers income tax exemptions, raises excise taxes, and imposes an excess profits tax on corporations, aiming to raise about 1.0 billion annually plus a war profits levy potentially totaling 8 billion for individuals and similar for corporations once war is declared. The bill also expands taxpayers, raises the debt limit to 49 billion, and funds defense bonds with new revenues over five years.
