Tax avoiders and oil firms flagged by congress
Washington AP. Rep Charles Vanik said IRS data show 24 American millionaires paid no federal income tax in 1973. Seven had $17.78 million AGI, averaging $24 million each. 17 others avoided tax after deductions. He cited major oil firms paying foreign governments far more than US taxes in 1974 and noted two firms omitted from the survey. The Ways and Means Committee moved to end farm tax shelters for the wealthy, aiming to raise about $110 million next year, while offering a $7 credit for gardening tool purchases up to $100.
