New Tax on Corporations Is Proposed in Revision Fight
Senators Walsh and Geary push a graduated corporate tax replacing the flat 15 percent plan. The measure would tax net incomes up to 100000 at 10 percent, 100000 to 500000 at 15 percent, and over 300000 at 20 percent with related income tax reductions for individuals. Democrats denounce the bill as unsound and unfair while Penrose struggles to move the tax revision forward.
