Supreme Court Kills Key Features of Income Tax Law
The Supreme Court today struck down two main provisions of the federal income tax law. Landlords and bondowners largely escape taxation while most manufacturers and salaried workers face a 2 percent tax on incomes over $1,000. The ruling also exempts rents from federal, state, county, and municipal taxation and largely spares municipal bonds, reshaping the tax landscape and likely affecting government revenues.
