Withholding tax cut to 14 percent eyed by conferees
Senate and House tax cut conferees agreed to Johnson's demand for a speedy move to a 14 per cent wage and salary withholding rate, boosting monthly take home by about 800 million dollars. The final timing remains unresolved though expectations point to a swift implementation after the bill is signed. The plan halves most individual and corporate rates over two years, with most cuts retroactive to January 1 and a two thirds/one third timing split this year and next.
