House Ways and Means Seeks New Revenue
The House committee approved a plan to raise 500 million by curbing itemized deductions. State and local taxes on gasoline, license tags, cigarettes and beverages would no longer be deductible. Other taxes including property and state income taxes remain deductible. Effective January 1, the measure contrasts Kennedy’s broader limit. It links oil industry tax concessions to dividends for big stockholders. Representative Martha Griffiths opposed earlier sweeping reductions.
