President Roosevelt signed the business tax revision bill last night, ending the undistributed profits levy. The law reestablishes excise taxes expiring June 30 and revamps corporate taxation to ease burdens on business. It sets a flat 18 percent levy for corporations earning over 25,000, preserves small corporation rates 12 to 16 percent, and allows a two year loss carryover. Capital gains rules let full deduction of capital losses from assets held over 18 months in the year the loss occurred. The bill also permits higher stock valuations for capital stock and excess profits taxation, with most revisions effective for 1940 taxes paid in 1941.
