Sharp Fight Over Dividend Tax Relief Repeal Plan
Democrats split over repealing a dividend tax relief provision in the revenue act with Rep. Herman Eberharter urging a repeal to cut government revenue losses of over 200 million dollars this year. Opposition from Rayburn and other Democrats signals a contentious House fight as GOP critics decry the policy as a trickle down tax break benefiting higher brackets. The rule exempts the first 1 half million dollars in dividend income and taxes 4 percent on income above 30 dollars as a credit against final taxes.
