Taft Plan Seeks 2 Percent Corporate Tax
The Taft corporation tax plan was presented to the senate as a committee amendment to the tariff bill. It imposes a 2 percent tax on net earnings for profit corporations and insurance companies, with a $5600 exemption and deductions for expenses, depreciation, and interest. The measure, drafted by Wickersham and Root, aims to be amendment proof and would assign enforcement to the internal revenue commissioner.
