Tax Reduction Proposal Sets Broad Cuts in Rates
Secretary Mellon notes many good provisions in a tax bill calling for a 25 percent cut in income taxes this year. Installment payers could halve the June 15 payment, with a quarter off the last two installments. Full payment by March 15 would yield a one fourth refund. Normal rates would ease to 2 percent for under 4000, 4 percent between 4000 and 8000, and 6 percent above 8000, with surtax maximum 40 percent at 500000 and over. Surtax would start at 1 percent at 6000 and reach 38 percent at 200000. Most miscellaneous and excise taxes would be repealed or cut, effective 30 days after enactment.
