Tax Bill Advances Through House Ways and Means
The House Ways and Means Committee sent the tax reduction bill to the printers and drafted provisions to cut the annual federal tax burden by about 30 million dollars. It includes a 5 to 3 percent cut in the passenger car tax and offers a dealer rebate on the difference between old and new taxes, with auto makers pledging not to push full elimination. The committee also repeals the deeds and conveyances tax, the 10 cent stamp on voting praises, and the 25 cent stamp on powers of attorney, while keeping future inheritance tax schedules but dropping retroactive rate reductions. Chairman Green will introduce the bill at the next session and push for quick consideration.
