Smale Prospects Seen for Reforms in State Tax Law
Atlanta July 1 The Georgia legislature shows little prospect of passage this session for tax reform with Gov. Wright's stance uncertain. The Cole bill would require stamping and returning notes and accounts for taxation, making intangible assets reportable and assessed by county boards. Supporters say it enforces existing laws and widens the tax base. opponents warn it would raise costs on borrowers and bypass cash held by the wealthy. The debate centers on enforcement versus equity and potential loss of outside cash.
