Tax Plan Faces Major Surgery on Personal Deductions
President Kennedy's tax program undergoes congressional review with strong opposition to a proposed floor under personal deductions. If adopted the 5 percent threshold would limit deductions for interest, local taxes and charitable contributions, potentially raising more revenue but reducing home ownership incentives. The plan aims to cut rates enough to shrink the tax take by 13.6 billion annually, offset by 3.3 billion in structural changes, with 2.3 billion from the floor. Secretary Dillon warned against a net tax cut exceeding 10.3 billion if the deduction floor fails.
