Major Review of Federal Tax Code Is Planned
Washington AP Chairman Mills of the House Ways and Means Committee plans a broad review of the Internal Revenue Code this summer to craft a tax reform bill. He warns against expecting major revenue gains or broad tax cuts. He aims hearings by late January or February, focusing on areas like estate and gift taxes, capital gains, the minimum tax, and municipal bonds. He doubts many reformers' ideas will pass and will not reintroduce a bill to repeal over 50 tax preferences without bipartisan support.
