Rum plan aimed to tie skip tax year to withholdings
Congressional backers push a plan to attach a skip-a-tax-year provision to a 20 percent withholding levy on high earners. The House Ways and Means panel approved the levy effective July 1, to be deducted from payrolls and applied to current taxes, with first two 1942 installments still due March 15 and June 15. Chairman Doughton signaled possible postponement, while Rumi supporters hinted at bringing the measure to the House floor. It remains undecided whether last six months withholdings apply to 1942 or 1943 taxes.
