Washington reports the House Ways and Means Committee is considering a treasury plan to deduct 10 percent of taxable pay each payday. The plan would shift to pay as you go, raise surtax ranges, and require employers to withhold tax at source. It would affect up to 20 million workers, with exemptions set for singles and married couples, and would delay implementation by 2 to 3 months after approval.
