Excerpt from Federal Taxation of Life Insurance Companies: A Paper Read at the Meeting of Life Insurance Counsel Held at Atlantic City, May, 1917 At the time this paper is being written there is pending in Congress a measure which largely increases the normal tax imposed on life companies, increases the so-called excess profits tax from eight to sixteen per cent. And imposes a tax of eight cents on each of insurance written after it becomes a law. In addition, it has certain retroactive fea tures that still further add to the tax burden. This is put forth as a war measure. How long it will continue in force, if passed, after peace is established, remains to be seen.
