Tax Reform Proposals Aim to Mend System Flaws
Administration officials told Congress the President's tax reform plan targets quick fixes and outlines basic structural changes to simplify the system. Treasury officials warn the reform includes interim steps and stage-by-stage changes while reviewing all aspects of taxation. They cite curbing tax preferences for the wealthy and removing income tax burden from the poor as key goals. Net revenue impact could balance to about four billion dollars in initial years, with major items including repeal of the investment tax credit and tightening preferences. Revenue-sharing and job training incentives would follow later, as would changes to charitable deduction limits and moving expense write-offs. The plan also proposes a 50 percent cap on sheltering income from exemptions. Further details noted in the continuing tax message.
