Committee Would Ease Gains Tax

The House Ways and Means Committee backed a capital gains tax cut as part of Kennedy’s $10 billion tax package. The plan lowers rates for assets held over two years to 21 percent, with 40 percent inclusion in income, while six months to two years keep current terms and under six months stay at ordinary rates. It would not apply to unharvested crops, pension lump sums, cattle, or most timber, but stocks, bonds, real estate and most investments would qualify. The Treasury expects a long term revenue relief of about 120 million yearly, with an initial 310 million rise in the first year due to a selling surge.
