Income Tax Rate To Be 15 Percent
DES MOINES AP The Iowa legislature ended a three day special session with a compromise tax plan. It cuts the 1948 1949 rate to 75 percent and increases personal deductions by 50 percent, yielding about 14 million in annual tax take while exempting roughly 250 000 Iowans from payment over two years. The measure shifts calculation order and sets 75 percent rates before deductions, affecting net tax remaining for each payer.
