Senate approves speed-up plan for corporate income taxes
The Senate finance committee backed a plan to accelerate collection of corporate income taxes, boosting federal revenue by about 730 million dollars this year and targeting payments within six months of earning the income over six years. It differs from Truman’s proposed 5 billion dollar tax hike. The plan, by Rep. Wilbur Mills, would not alter tax rates and would shift timing away from quarterly payments. The committee also rejected a 10 percent withholding tax on corporate dividends.
