Biggest Tax Overhaul Clears House Committee
The Ways and Means Committee finished a sweeping tax reform package described as the biggest since 1915. It includes a 10 percent income tax surcharge for six months and substantial relief for low and middle income taxpayers, offset by taxes on some groups. The plan extends the surcharge into 1970, repeals a business tax credit, and preserves car and phone excise taxes while aiding about 12 million low income individuals. It moves to the full House for debate, with Senate action anticipated later.
