Plan for tax reforms to ease burden on banks and utilities
The report argues for reauction of the tax on national banks and trust companies, noting the 6 percent tax on doing business and higher rates on realty holdings. It details taxes paid by public utilities, gas and electric firms, and outlines proposed amendments to tax law, including interest on restored delinquencies and licensing for tobacco dealers. The assessment shows the District’s total real estate value at $6.54 billion with $950,900 anticipated from personal taxes and a projected levy to cover local services.
