Proposed Tax Program Explained in Arkansas
Bruce Streett, aide to Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, outlined the governor’s tax plan in Little Rock. The package includes income tax revisions, a one percent sales tax increase, and a sales tax rebate. Streett noted the revisions could raise about 15.5 million dollars in taxes this year, with higher earners bearing most of the burden. He argued the plan would lower taxes for a poor Arkansas family and offered figures showing a four person household paying about 40 dollars net after rebates and credits, with a four percent rate and forty dollar per person rebate shaping the outcome. He also described a proposed gradated income tax credit as increasing net income for higher earners.
