Small Reduction Seen for Income Taxes by Jan. 1
Washington P All Americans seem likely to get a cut in their income taxes after Jan. 1. Perhaps several million will have to pay no income taxes at all next year. Congress is coming back Sept. 5 in a tax cutting mood. Some experts think a reduction in personal income taxes will be enacted before Christmas with administration approval if not too drastic. The expected cut would be moderate for most. the high earners would see a smaller percentage cut. The lowest income group could have their taxes wiped out entirely. A survey of tax authorities suggests no 1945 tax cuts, smaller payroll withholdings begin Jan. 1, and 95 percent excess profits tax on corporations likely repealed either Jan. 1 or Sept. 7. The normal tax may be repealed, leaving only the surtax as income tax. A couple with one child earning $3,000 would see taxes drop from 311 to 244. Weekly withholding for incomes around $30 to $100 would fall accordingly.
