War Tax Measure Ready for Action
The new war tax bill to be sent to Congress proposes a broad tax overhaul. It doubles normal income tax rates, tightens exemptions, raises surtaxes, removes tariff free articles, and adds a minimum 10 percent duty. It targets households and businesses with levies on utilities, transport, ads, clubs, autos, and more, aiming for about $1.8 billion in yearly revenue. A coffee and tea tax on roasters and importers is expected to bring in around $5 million.
