Senators May Knock Out Tax Hike by House
Washington Aug 28 The Senate Finance Committee tentatively voted to reduce about a quarter of the house approved corporation tax increase. They kept the 6 percent increase in corporate income taxes but lowered rates for small companies earning 25000 or less. The plan would raise roughly 2.28 billion annually, about 760 million less than the house bill. They aim to trim roughly 1.64 billion from house increases and may reduce excise taxes further to reach about 5 billion overall. They also seek potential new revenue of up to 100 million from untapped areas.
