Tax Bill Ends Reports For 30,000,000
Washington May 3 Chairman Doughton of the Ways and Means committee urged House unanimous approval of a bill to simplify income tax laws for 50,000,000 taxpayers. The plan would adjust withholding to remove the need for most returns for those earning 5,000 dollars or less and extend simplified procedures to the rest. Doughton dismissed fears that a flat 10 percent withholding would cut charitable giving, saying contributions are driven by worthy causes, not tax motives. Further study will consider corporate tax provisions.
