Features of the New Tax Bill Reforms
Washington reports the house ways and means committee outlines tax bill provisions. The plan repeals the victory tax and raises the normal rate to 10.8 percent while keeping personal exemptions and credits for dependents. It adjusts the surtax to merge victory and income levies, suspends the earned income credit, and requires married filers to use a single exemption. The bill sets a minimum tax of 3 percent on net income above exemptions, retaining nine million victory taxpayers and an overall 90 percent cap on top incomes.
