Senate Finance Committee Advances Broad 1975 Tax Cut Plan
The Senate Finance Committee endorsed a roughly $30 billion 1975 tax cut package while rejecting higher rebates for upper middle income taxpayers. It would extend a program offering up to $2,000 in tax relief on home purchases to include new and used or mobile homes retroactive to Thursday. The panel also defeated Sen. Roth’s effort to raise 1974 rebate limits, while approving a small rate reduction that would add about $40 to the yearly tax cut for those earning over $4,000. Democrats pledged to delay Easter recess to push rebates to taxpayers in May and June.
