Major Tax Reform Plan Unveiled by Nixon Administration
The Nixon administration proposed a broad tax reform to close loopholes and curb artificial losses. A minimum taxable income would ensure deductions do not offset over half of income. It also offers property tax relief for the elderly and credits for oil and gas exploration and for nonpublic school tuition. A simplified 1040 form, plus an over 65 credit, aims to ease filing for about 20 million. Secretary Shultz presented the plan to the House Ways and Means Committee, with projected revenue gains and losses from the package.
