Strict Tax Reform Voted By House Brings Low Income Break
Washington AP reports the House Ways and Means Committee moved a broad tax reform package calling it the biggest reform yet. It trims taxes for low and moderate incomes while funding relief via tightening measures such as oil depreciation, real estate depreciation, and large charitable deductions. The plan would cut at least 8 percent for those under 100,000, with specific relief scales and extended surtax provisions through mid 1970. It includes a higher standard deduction, new 50 percent top rate cap for certain income, and head of household benefits for single earners and widows. The measure also maintains the 1 percent surcharge through 1970 and mirrors the Senate extension.
