Ford expected to sign sweeping tax bill after Congress approval
Congress approved a broad tax overhaul and the White House anticipated approval by President Ford. The plan would extend multibillion dollar cuts through 1977, raise certain taxes on the rich, simplify credits, and expand pension options for housewives while easing relief for elderly taxpayers. The package totals billions in cost to the Treasury over five years and includes a college education tax credit, with phased increases to 1980. The bill modernizes capital gains rules and the gift and estate tax structure, while preserving key deductions for non itemizers.
