Hill Reverses Course On Processing Taxes In New Revenue Plan
Washington March 26 A House Ways and Means subcommittee suddenly reversed itself and kept processing taxes out of the hearings on the new revenue program. Chairman Samuel B Hill said the group would instead rely on other sources for funds and cut the dividend tax rate for non resident aliens from 33 1 2 to 22 1 2 percent. The panel estimated $591 million in new revenue from net income, $83 million from existing capital stock taxes and excess profits levies, $1060 million from a windup levy, and $25 million from taxes on foreigners receiving dividends. Other changes included omitting processing taxes on many farm commodities for now.
