Ford signs tax reform bill in Oval Office ceremony
President Ford signed the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the largest and most complex Internal Revenue Code revision, keeping $17.3 billion in current tax cuts while adding thousands of rule changes. The act raises the minimum tax, tightens shelters, closes loopholes, and expands benefits for workers, the elderly, heirs, and certain industries. Ford urged further cuts next year despite Congress’ stance on a $10 billion extra personal tax reduction.
