Excess profits tax overview and postal rate rise debated
A briefing notes the excess profits tax extends six months under pressure, with only about 12 percent of corporations paying it and an expected $800 million to government. It explains calculation based on 1946–1949 earnings, normal profit at 83 percent, and 30 percent excess profit tax on overage. Also discusses the tax’s purpose to curb defense-related gains and cites opposition claiming it harms small, growing businesses. The Post Office proposes rate hikes, including four cent out of town letters, seven cent air mail per ounce, and higher book and other class rates, though Congress shows no rush to enact reforms amid calls for economy and budget balance.
