Tax Bill Battle Ends as House Votes on Revisions
The committee approved changes to revenue legislation with notable surtax reductions for incomes 26000 to 100000 and repeal of the inheritance tax. The escape of increased inheritance rates and reform of gift tax were discussed while reductions were projected to shave about 12 million this year from surtax sources. Senator Simmons urged deeper cuts, and Senator King opposed repealing the inheritance tax, which could cost 20 million this year. Other provisions include expanding exemption on the stamp tax and restoring a 2 percent tax on automobile trucks and adjusting corporate taxes to offset repeals. A motion to allow separate filing by spouses under community property laws was defeated.
