Farm Tax Relief Estimated Saving of 12 Million
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau estimated farmers will save about 12 million dollars on real and personal property taxes with the new tax revision taking effect in 1962. The biggest cut comes from a 50 percent reduction of personal property taxes for 1962 assessments due in 1963. Farm trucks will be the only farm business item taxed under sales tax. Exemptions apply to tangible personal property used exclusively for farming. Farmers will also pay additional income taxes on personal incomes like city residents.
