Ford Approval Could Freeze Payroll Withholding Tax
President Ford's signature on a fast-tracked tax bill would freeze withholding rates at their current level through Sept. 1 while Congress refines a broad tax revision. Senate and House approval would be followed by a debate on extending or permanentizing the tax cuts, with estimates of sizable yearly increases if the expiration takes effect. The bill aims to curb tax shelters and expand credits for working parents as liberal and conservative factions clash over reforms.
