Surtax extension and payroll changes debated in Congress
The proposed plan would extend the surtax at a reduced 5 percent rate from June through December and drop payroll withholding to pre-surtax levels for six months, expiring June 30, 1978. Absent action, the surtax ends Monday. The measure also would remove about 5.2 million low earners from the tax rolls and cut rates for those near the threshold, a provision liberals argued against. Rep Hale Boggs warned Congress against fostering economic stagnation if inflation remains unchecked.
