Federal tax reform eyed to cut billions in next year bill
Washington reports a revenue measure could save between 300 and 500 million dollars in next year’s federal tax bill. The plan promises a clear track through Congress by March 1, with hearings starting Monday. Provisions include lower normal and surtax rates, repeal or modification of select taxes, higher exemptions, and estate tax revisions. Delegations led by Representative Garner and Chairman Green will push the bill, with Mellon signaling at least 250 million in cuts and a possible surtax drop to 2 percent.
