BY OLIVER MCKEE.

As passed by the House, the excess
profits bill imposes higher rate
of tax on corporations electing the
average earnings method in COM
putting their obligations to the Gov
eminent than on those using the
invested capital method. Inasmuch
as the larger and more prosperous
companies in general, would prefer
the average earnings formula, If the
rate were the same, critics have
charged that the proposed legislation
is discriminatory against big bust
ness"
Explaining this apparent dis
elimination to the House last week,
Representative Cooper, chairman
of the Ways and Means Subcom-
mittee on Taxation, pointed out
that companies using the average
earnings yardstick in many in
stances would pay less to the Gov
eminent than those choosing the
invested capital method. For this
reason the committee decided on a
rate structure designed to encour-
age a greater use of the invested
capital plan.
Corporations using the average
earnings method will be required to
pay an additional excess profits tax
of Al per cent in addition to the
general corporate income levy at a
maximum of 20.9 per cent on its
normal tax net income This re-
quirement will boost the tax on
normal tax net income to nearly
25 per cent.
Nor does this tell the whole story.
In each bracket the rates under the
average earnings method are per
cent higher than those fixed for cor
porations using the invested capital
formula.
Rates of Tax.
The rates imposed under the aver
age earnings, or income method, are
as follows:
