TAX LAW CH|NKS
Committee Holds Program
Spells Death for Personal
Holding Units.
BY the Associated Press

Members of congressional COM
if the Senate and House accept their
recommendations a death sentence"
awaits personal holding companies.
They submitted their report yester-
day, giving specific suggestions on how
to close loopholes in the tax laws
The recommendations would disal-
low virtually every tax deduction now
granted the incorporated pocket
books" and would boost surtaxes on
their undHtributed income to as much
as IS and IS per cent.
Statement by Vinson.
Representative Vinson, Democrat.
Of Kentucky said that if the proposals
were enacted there would be no ad-
vantage to any one in creating a per-
sonal holding company.
He said the tax committees recon-
mendations could result also in the
Government collecting taxes on the
gains realized from dissolution of hold
ing companies.
Existing surtaXeS are graduated
from to 48 per cent. The commit
tee said these provided two serious
loopholes:
/. The fact that the graduated rates
are less severe than graduated rates
applicable to wealthy individuals en-
courages use Of the personal holding
company device
2. The graduated rates in the low
brackets have led to multiple personal
holding companies, among which in
come was scattered
Application Of Rate.
The proposed new IS per cent rate
would apply against undistributed ad-
justed net income up to $4,000, the
IS per cent levy against the income
in excess of $4,000.
To encourage prompt liquidation of
foreign personal holding companies
the report suggested that 100 per cent
Of the gains recognized on such liquida-
ton be taken into account in COM
putting net income. The law now
permits computation on as little as
80 per cent.
The committee proposed to tax
shareholders OF such foreign corpora
tions on the basis of their stock hold
ings and the income therefrom
whether it was distributed or not.
