Tax Increase Targets Low Income Amid War Bill Debates
The committee voted to raise income taxes by 3 points across brackets totaling 2.95 billion dollars annually. A single filer earning 2000 dollars would pay 322 dollars, up from 280, with rates climbing from 20 to 23 percent in the first bracket and 22 to 25 percent in the 2000 to 4000 range. The measure remains tentative awaiting House Senate action. It parallels wartime tax levels and signals expected shifts for small earners before summer.
