Tax Plan Revisions Move Through Senate Finance Panel
The Senate finance committee advances a revised tax schedule aimed at reducing income taxes and adjusting surtax rates. Proposals include lowering top surtax from 5 to 2 percent, raising corporate tax to 16 percent, and repealing many taxes next year while preserving certain levies. The plan lowers taxes for many brackets, but raises others, with an estimated revenue loss of 178 million dollars, offset by exemptions for heads of families and dependents.
