Tax Conferees Agree Now After Late Swag Over Cancellations
Senate and House conferees finished work on the sales tax system proposing extra relief for small taxpayers. They would 100 percent abate taxes for bills of 50 dollars or less and 75 percent for higher brackets, with a 50 dollar credit for abatements up to 66.67 dollars to avoid undercutting near 50 dollars. Initial reports spoke of full cancellation for 50 dollars or less and 75 percent abatement for others, but later notes suggested an additional 500 dollar abatement could make 200 dollar tax liabilities vanish. The panel, led by George and Doughton, was recalled to confirm details.
