Nixon Tax Reform Plan Tightens Loopholes and Provides Credits
The Nixon administration unveiled a reform package to curb loopholes and require taxes on half of income for high earners. It proposes a minimum taxable income, limits on artificial losses, property tax relief for the elderly, energy exploration credits, a tuition credit for nonpublic schools, and a simplified 1040S form. The plan, presented by Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz to the House committee, would not seek a general tax increase and targets those who do not pay a fair share of taxes.
