Senate Finance Panel Backs Gas Tax Hike in Energy Credits
The Senate Finance Committee voted to raise the federal gasoline tax by a half cent to 4.5 cents to fund energy conservation credits for homeowners and heat systems. The measure would be considered separately from the main tax bill, risking year-end enactment. The panel also extended temporary business tax cuts and kept some energy provisions separate. Tax changes include permanent investment credits and phased corporate rates through 1977, with costs rising into 1981.
