Tax Revision Would Be Expensive
SACRAMENTO ACNS The proposed California tax revision would have cost the state money in 1957-58 and 1956-57. State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood estimated a net loss of 52 million for 1957-58 and 36 million for 1956-57. The plan would have cut sales tax 3 to 2 percent while raising personal income taxes for higher brackets, with a potential net increase in income taxes of 151 million. About two thirds of the added middle and high bracket taxes could be offset by federal reductions. Other officials oppose the measure.
