Senate tax reform bill at a glance in 1969 proposal
The Senate tax reform plan tightens tax treatment of investment income while granting cuts to wages. It limits foundations and gifts to charities, tightens political activity, and imposes a 40 year exampl status for new foundations. It lowers overall tax rates, expands standard deduction, and retains certain excises. Investment credits are repealed, surtaxes extended, and oil depreciation is adjusted. Net long term revenue falls by about 2.4 billion with 9.2 billion in tax cuts offset by 4.8 billion in reforms.
