Roosevelt Signs Bill Extending Processing Tax Relief
President Roosevelt signed a bill granting partial relief from processing taxes on jute, cotton, burlap, and hogs. It allows refunds on floor taxes when processing fees drop and lets adjustments meet tax changes, with possible 90 to 180 day delay in collection upon Agriculture Department recommendation. The measure also shifts hog tax liability to packers and processors, not farmers, and targets hog hotels that slaughter their own hogs.
