House Defers Vote On Tax Bill For Time
A Texas House revenue committee deferred action on the income tax bill until next Wednesday, a move that essentially blocks passage this session. The substitute measure, drafted with input from Senator Edgar Witt and supported by Governor Moody, would repeal the ad valorem levy except for a seven cent Confederate pension tax. The plan imposes 12 percent on income up to four thousand, 3 percent on the next four thousand, and 5 percent on the balance, with exemptions for individuals and dependents and applies to corporations as well.
