New 15 Percent Tax Cut Proposed in Melton Plan
Washington reports government experts conclude the Melton plan would trim the federal tax take by about 16 percent to relieve business burdens. Key ideas include lowering the top surtax to 20 percent, starting at 12 000 to 15 000, eliminating estate and large gifts taxes, and rewriting depreciation losses rules for corporations. Exemptions would rise to 2 000 for singles and 3 500 for married filers, though reception is cautious.
