Tax free certificates touted for savers under Reagan plan
A new 15 month tax free savings certificate would offer interest at 70 percent of the 52 week T bill rate. It would let individuals deduct up to 1000 dollars of interest on a single return and 2000 on a joint return while banks and thrifts sell denominations as small as 500 dollars. Only high income taxpayers would gain most, with critics saying the plan mostly aids the affluent and costs treasury billions.
