Tax package lifts small firms with new relief measures
Wilson S. Johnson of the National Federation of Independent Business lauds the Reagan tax package as the most dramatic business program in modern times. It includes individual rate cuts, expanded estate tax relief, accelerated depreciation, and potential cash method accounting for small business, aiming to boost surviving firms and encourage expansion. The plan also shortens corporate rates and broadens the estate tax exemption, with phased changes through 1987 and beyond. Johnson notes broad grass roots support and expects a healthier climate for entrepreneurs in coming years.
