Conferees Endorse Revised Tax Bill Amid Dividends Cut
A House Senate conference panel approved a compromise tax bill reducing revenues by about 1.363 billion dollars next year. It allows a 4 percent credit on dividend income with a 50 dollar dividend exclusion, cutting the first year tax on dividends by about 204 million and 363 million the following year. The measure broadens deductions including medical, depreciation, child care, soil conservation, and retirement income, while leaving major tax rates intact. The bill still requires both chambers approval and rejects a Senate move to end charitable foundation tax exemptions tied to suspected subversive grants.
