North Carolina lawmakers advanced a bill to let households with gross income of 5000 dollars or less use a short income tax form with a 10 percent standard deduction. The measure also alters the corporate tax formula to attract new industry, updates book value to actual value, averages inventories, and allows separate accounting for out of state firms. A tax review board would hear appeals and provide advance status determinations. Charitable deduction limits rise from 10 to 15 percent, costing about 330000 dollars annually.
