Vote More Individual Tax Relief Less to Business
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a revised Nixon tax plan giving individuals more relief and limiting business breaks. Estimated totals show about 4.9 billion fewer in corporate tax breaks and 3.4 billion more for individuals over three years, with larger gains for low income and poverty-level taxpayers. The package repeals the 7 percent auto excise and 10 percent light truck taxes and restores some anti-poverty relief, though debates focus on timing and scope of personal exemptions and depreciation rules.
