Senate panel moves to close tax loophole for the rich
The Senate Finance Committee voted 11 to 9 to tighten the minimum tax by raising the rate to 10 percent, eliminating the $30,000 exemption, and taxing more high earners. The plan would affect about 540,000 individuals, raise roughly $950 million in 1977, and shift taxes on investment income while easing the maximum tax for some wealthy filers.
