Truman Tax Cut Plan Advances For July Start
Republicans beat back Democratic efforts to alter the Senate bill and sent it through in the version approved by the Senate Finance Committee. Beginning July 1, personal income taxes would fall by 30 percent for incomes up to 1,000 dollars, 30 to 20 percent for 1,900 to 1,395 dollars, 20 percent for 1,395 to 79,060 dollars, 15 percent for 79,000 to 302,000 dollars, and 10.5 percent for over 302,000 dollars. The last two brackets would receive a 20 percent cut on income under 79,000 dollars. The House granted an extra 500 dollar exemption for individuals 65 or older, with limits tied to the spouse’s income, and provided the exemption offsets the first 500 dollars received from certain pensions or retirement pay already excluded from taxation.
