Publishers' Tax Increases Aimed At Net Profits And Postage
The Senate finance committee moved toward final action on war revenue measures raising second class postage by 0.25 cents per pound and adding a 4 percent tax on publishers’ net profits over 4909. Revenues from postage rise about 3 million annually and profits tax about 9 million. The plan extends the profits tax to individuals in trade with House-like rates, offering exemptions for subnormal profits and new corporations. Publishers oppose any special war tax on newspapers while pledging cooperation with necessary tax. A hearing may be held tomorrow as a joint resolution seeks war-time paper distribution controls.
