Nelson Warns 94 Percent Excess Profits Tax Is Too High
War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson told the House Ways and Means Committee that a 94 percent excess profits tax endangers wartime efficiency and urged capping at about 80 percent. He proposed crediting any excess above 80 percent to the corporate postwar repayment fund and suggested raising the normal corporate income and surtax to 40 percent. If an excess tax above 80 percent remains, he called for thorough exemptions to spur efficiency and conserve scarce commodities.
