Senate Tax Group Ups Luxury Rates But Trims Total
The Senate finance committee approved the House tax increases including liquor from six to nine dollars a proof gallon while trimming others, yielding a net revenue change of about 112 million dollars. The committee aims to align totals near the House figure of 2.14 billion, pending floor action in the next week or ten days, with adjustments across furs, beer, cosmetics, telephone service, and travel taxes among others. The fate of the measure before Christmas hinges on whether the Senate keeps the total near 2.14 billion or seeks the Treasury’s 10.5 billion request.
