Payroll tax study questions impact on business costs

The committee study finds no clear consensus on the employer payroll tax effect. It notes the tax is a near universal cost of doing business, may spur labor saving, and could be passed to prices as it rises. Projections show increases to 5.65 percent by 1987 on a $6,600 wage base, with House plans pushing to 5.9 percent on $7,600. A 5.2 percent rate could occur in 1971 under the Medicare financing bill. A separate note mentions the giant tortoise living up to 150 years, possibly 200.
