Committee Approves Flat Federal Payroll Tax Plan
The House Ways and Means Committee favors a flat federal payroll tax for unemployment insurance. It would start at 1 percent in 1936, rise to 2 percent in 1937, and reach 3 percent in 1938. The plan aligns with administration figures and avoids tax fluctuations tied to business conditions. A 90 percent credit to employers who donate to state funds is tentatively allowed.
