Reward Idea Would Offer Bonds for Tax Withholding Refunds
Washington reports Treasury study of a plan to reward taxpayers who lend the government their expected large refunds. Taxpayers with 1972 refunds could take cash or choose a bond with higher yield than the 5.5 percent Series E rate. The aim is to curb inflation from early 1973 refunds and ease withholding headaches. Rep Vanik warned that a sudden $8 billion infusion could raise inflation four to five points, suggesting predated bonds to shorten the wait for face value.
