The corporation income tax was not
reduced, but, on the contrary, the
rate was increased from 121a to IL per
cent in the proposed law, with a pro
vision that will make it 1872 per cent
in 1927. The tax on capital stock,
however, was abolished entirely.
Another outstanding feature Of the
bill about to become law Is that 1t
puts an end to publicity of income tax
returns.
The tax on passenger automobiles Is
to be reduced from to 8 per cent.
The taxes on admissions were agreed
