46 Million To Enjoy Tax Cuts After June 1
About 46 million workers will see higher take home pay as new tax cuts take effect June 1. The average weekly withholding drop is 2.13 dollars, with families earning 10 000 dollars a year saving about 200 dollars, and those at 15 000 dollars about 111 dollars. President Carter called the measure a great benefit to the average family. The package broadens standard deductions to 3200 for joint returns and 2200 for singles and heads of households. It also increases withholding for some high earners and expands the use of the standard deduction for low income filers. The tax plan extends prior cuts and includes a credit per person and earned income credit, with total aid estimated at 34.1 billion dollars through late 1978. The law is retroactive to 1977 and contains a business tax credit to expand work forces.
