Witherspoon Drives Vermont Tax Reform Push
Vermont Tax Commissioner Gerald Witherspoon spends time reshaping 1947 era laws to tax capital gains, raise the dependent deduction, and align with the federal system. He envisions a computer aided return process, cross checking with federal taxes for about 150000 taxpayers, and proposes replacing the Old Age Assistance Tax with other measures while weighing a property transfer tax and local income surcharges. The 1966 session looms as he works long hours to craft a major revenue overhaul.
