Tax changes delayed as lawmakers weigh nuisance levies and income data
Congressional tax experts say revenue legislation will likely be delayed until June. They cite delaying amendments to avoid broad tax fights and evaluating March 15 income tax returns to decide if nuisance taxes such as admissions, furs, and sporting goods can be reduced. The administration expects nuisance taxes to raise about 452.58 million dollars next year, with gasoline and other levies contributing substantial sums. A general tax revision remains in abeyance while a joint committee studies simplification. Ways and means also weighs changes to undistributed earnings taxes to aid deficit and debt cases and to fund plant improvements.
