New July 1 tax changes cut top rates and issue refunds
The IRS will implement new withholding tables on July 1 cutting four high tax rates and preserving the 15 percent rate. Refund checks of up to 300 dollars for individuals and 600 dollars for couples accompany the change, with many low income workers gaining only payroll tax relief or none due to no tax liability in 2000.
