Senate OKs income tax surcharge bill and spending cuts
The Senate passed a bill adding a 1 per cent surcharge to individual and corporate income taxes and ordering a $6 billion federal spending cut. Johnson is expected to sign despite opposition to the spending limits. The measure, retroactive to April 1 for individuals and January 1 for corporations, aims to curb inflation and debt. The House approved the bill 268-150, with revenue projected at about $15.4 billion next year. The act delays a freeze on federal aid to families with dependent children and raises broader tax provisions.
