No Tax Break For Little Man in Tax Reform Debate
Washington (UPI) A tax reform bill pits Senate and House plans on personal exemptions and standard deductions. Gore’s plan would raise the current $600 exemption to $700 next year and $800 in 1971, while the administration pushes for other changes benefiting homeowners with large mortgages. The Senate also kept a 7 percent investment tax credit for the first $20,000 in plant investment, a provision Hartke argues helps small business at a $730 million cost.
