Senate To Extend Tax Withholding At Current Rates
The Senate voted to keep income tax withholding unchanged at the current lower rates through Sept amid debate on a broad tax revision bill. The action, taken by voice vote, follows a push by reformers who won a key victory portioning the 70 percent top rate on unearned income to 50 or 70 depending on dates, while the longer reform bill remains unresolved before Congress recesses for summer.
