Tax Plan Approval Expected By Congress Tonight
Final approval of a 6 billion tax package is expected tonight after Senate passage, aimed at funding Vietnam fighting and curbing inflation. The bill, returning to the House and Senate in compromise form, trims most changes but keeps original proposals to boost revenues for two years and speed up tax collections. It also overhauls withholding on wages, expands Social Security pensions for about 300,000 people 72 or older, and raises the mobile excise tax by 1 percent and the telephone tax by seven percent while maintaining rate levels elsewhere.
