House Hammers Out Its Tax Reform Measures
The House tax reform bill adds 2.4 billion in relief mainly for low and moderate income recipients. It would eventually deliver 9.2 billion in relief while raising 6.8 billion in revenue by tightening 27 tax preferences. The plan targets poor and senior households, extends a 5 percent surtax through mid 1970, and alters oil depletion and depreciation rules. Ways and Means and committee actions aim to guarantee at least a 5 percent tax cut for most taxpayers under 100,000 earnings, with broader relief for low income groups and widows, widowers, and mature singles maintaining households.
