NEXT YEAR Value-Aclded Tax May Be New Gambit FROM PAGE OHE economists and a number of Vv business groups who would use it as a partial substitute 'for the corporate income tax, which, many argue, is largely passed on to the final purchaser anyway. T.h congressional prognosticators, noting that Nixon criticized last year's tax reform bill as weighted too heavily toward relief for the individual rather than the; business taxpayer, expect the administration to go along with this approach.
