Excess Profits <5alii
Leads Nation
JUNEAU—Alaska led-the entire
nation in the increase in excess
profits taxes paid to the Federal
Government in fiscal 1948 over the
previous year, according to infor
mation received by the Alaska De
velopment Board from the Trea
sury Department in Washington.
Although the excess profits tax
rate was* reduced very substantial
ly by the 80th Congress, Alaska
showed an increase in collections
of miscellaneous internal revenue
including excess profits taxes. The
£otal of such collections in the
Territory in 1948 was $1,837,669.66.
This represented an 8.1% increase
over the previous year. Only three
states showed an increase in this
class of taxes. They were South
Dakota, Iowa and Michigan, and
in none of them was the increase
nearly so great percentagewise as
it was in Alaska. For the nation as
a whole collections in this category
declined 26.1% in fiscal 1948 from
thp 1047 total
Federal corporation taxes paid in
Alaska in 1948 increased 65.6%
over the previous year. Individual
income taxes increased 4.8%. Em
ployment taxes to the Federal
Government were up 42.7%. Total
internal revenue collections
showed an increase of 19.3%. In
every one of these classifications
the increase in Alaska was far
above the national average.
The large increase in federal tax
payments by Alaskans in the face
of lower tax rates is interpreted
by the Alaska Development Board
as evidence of a substantial in
crease in the volume of industrial,
commercial and business activity
in the Territory.
