Exemptions To Be Lowered By Tax Bill Action
The House Ways and Means Committee signaled possible cuts to present exemptions of 800 for singles and 2000 for married couples in a 3.9 billion dollar tax bill. They tentatively voted to apply exemptions to surtaxes, atop a 4 percent normal tax, starting at the first dollar of income. Chairman Doughton said the normal tax might begin lower than the exemptions for surtax purposes, and the 400 dependent exemption would apply for surtax too. The move remains tentative and could change.
