Sales Tax Credit System Proposed To Fight Poverty
The analysis shows each percentage point of a sales tax would yield 250 million dollars, with a 3 percent reduction raising 750 million. The tax raised difference of 310 million could rebate low income groups if revenues stay at 440 million. The credit’s flexibility benefits the elderly on fixed incomes and could lower government revenue via tax rate cuts. All taxpayers would file income tax returns under this plan.
