Senate panel weighs changes to tax exemptions and inflation indexing
The Finance Committee discussed trimming the $200 per person exemption on interest and the $200 dividend exemption, replacing them with a 15 percent net interest exclusion up to $450 per person starting 1984. A couple could gain up to a $950 exclusion with $6,000 net interest income. The plan targets savings and loan sectors by favoring banks allocating 75 percent of net deposits to housing, construction, and farm loans. Proposals to rely on Social Security funds, cut capital gains, or retain current exemptions were rejected. inflation indexing is urged to aid lower and middle income taxpayers.
