House Group Drafts Simple Tax Measure
Washington (UP) The House Ways and Means Committee began final drafting of a bill to simplify the individual income tax and it could be filed with the House by Friday. The plan would reduce filings for about 30,000,000 people earning under 5,000 a year by abolishing the 3 percent Victory Tax and merging the 16 percent normal tax with surtaxes into a single graduated tax plus a 3 percent normal tax on higher incomes.
