Surcharge Likely and Tax Changes for 1968
The year's tax scene brings both repeal and hikes. Higher Social Security taxes apply to earnings up to 7800 dollars, boosting individual tax by 52.80 for top wages, while the 65 cent per 500 real estate sale stamp tax is repealed, removing a 60 to 70 million annual Treasury source. The Johnson administration awaits signature, with Congress eyed for a 10 percent surcharge on income taxes and adjustments to excise taxes in 1968.
