Tax cuts clear Senate finance committee and House already
The Senate Finance Committee tentatively approved 6.5 billion in personal income tax cuts for 1971 1972 and 1973. For a family with two dependents and 12500 taxable income the 1972 cut would be about 62 dollars. The panel may adjust the cuts before sending the bill to the Senate floor next week. The plan raises the personal exemption from 650 to 675 in 1971 and to 750 from 1972 onward, and adds liberalized depreciation rules saving corporations 13.2 billion over five years.
