Surtaxes Proposed to Rebalance Income Tax Rates
Washington Senate Finance Committee proposes adjusting surtaxes on individual net incomes. Under the plan, incomes under 100000 would see lower rates while higher incomes face increased levies. A 1 percent tax would apply at 5000 and 6000 with an extra 1 percent per thousand over those levels up to 100000. A top rate of 52 percent would apply beyond 100000, and a 55 percent surtax would rise above 1 million.
