The Senate Finance Committee voted to levy a 5 percent tax on the remainder after a 30 000 exemption on tax preference items for individuals and corporations. The plan aims to raise roughly 700 million annually and extend to corporations, notably some oil companies benefiting from depletion allowances.

The panel still weighs foundations changes and income tax relief provisions before the Oct. 31 deadline.
