House Ways and Means Contemplating Corporate Tax Cut Plan

From the Dow Jones Newswire: "House Ways and Means Re-Tool Corporate Tax Cut Plan." Excerpt:

House Ways and Means Committee Democrats and staff are retooling a proposal to overhaul the corporate tax code, with an eye toward introducing a new bill early next year.

The new legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives will be an updated version of a corporate tax code blueprint introduced by House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., late last year, according to a Democratic House aide.

That bill would have cut the corporate rate from 35% to 30.5%. However, the new version will push that rate lower, people familiar with the effort told Dow Jones Newswires.
