Senate Plan Promises Softer Income Tax Hike
The Senate finance committee tentatively approved a defense tax plan that would raise personal income taxes about 2.435 billion dollars annually, less than the House's 2.855 billion. The proposal targets the amount left after standard deductions, applying a 3 percent tax to the first 2,000 and 4 percent to the remainder, producing a smaller overall increase for most taxpayers and sparing upper brackets more than lower ones.
