Senate panel moves to cut income tax exemptions
The Senate Finance Committee voted to reduce personal income tax exemptions to 1500 for married couples and 750 for single filers to raise about 300 million dollars. The plan would add roughly 6 million new taxpayers and may be paired with a 5 percent sales tax exemption on food clothing and supplies. Senator Arthur Vandenberg supports the measure which could bring about 1 billion dollars in extra revenue.
