Nixon Signs Tax Reform Bill Amid Manifold Changes
President Nixon signs a broad tax reform bill with preferences for certain credits while trimming others such as hobby farming and large gifts. Corporate gains tax rises to 30 percent and private foundations face 4 percent investment income tax. The bill extends the 5 percent income surtax through June 30 and repeals the equipment investment credit.
