Johnson plan trims excise taxes over time
President Johnson aims to wipe out 1.75 billion dollars of yearly excise taxes with Tuesday cuts and another 1.75 billion on January 1. Auto mobile and telephone taxes will shrink progressively to January 1, 1969, with first-stage cuts reducing new car taxes from 10 percent to 7 percent and repealing the 10 percent retail tax on goods such as jewelry and cosmetics. The repeal retroactive to May 15 promises car buyers about seventy dollars back on purchases since then.
