Windfall Tax Urged by House Subcommittee
The House Ways and Means Subcommittee backed a windfall tax plan to recapture up to about 100 million dollars in refunded or unpaid AAA processing levies. Chairman Samuel B. Hill said a report should be ready by Friday to allow open hearings on the president's 792 million dollar tax program. The 90 percent rate or a yield near 100 million dollars was discussed, with broader measures to raise 517 million through processing taxes and 620 million from corporate dividends and undistributed profits. The panel aims to finalize rates while trying to avoid processing taxes this year.
