Court Challenge Fights Nixon Business Tax Break Plan
A consumer-led lawsuit in U S District Court targets President Nixon’s liberalized depreciation rules aimed at boosting business investment. The suit, joined by Ralph Nader and groups like Common Cause, argues the regulations bypassed Congress and paves the way for anticipated tax write offs retroactive to January 1. The case travels amid soft investment forecasts of about 2.7 percent in 1971, with Treasury officials defending the authority and retroactivity of the rules.
