Smaller Income Exemptions To Be Considered
Washington January 10 President Roosevelt’s budget plans propose much lower individual tax exemptions to help raise about 9 billion dollars in new revenue. The cut from 1500 to 1000 for married couples and the 750 exemption for secretaries roused debate in Congress. Senate Finance members warned the tax proposals may cover only a portion of total additional revenue, with about 2 billion more from social security taxes to come in separate legislation. Chairman George noted that to reach 12 billion yearly in new taxes, some levies would not start until after July 1 and full military production gains would come next spring. Discussion favored payroll or sales taxes and higher excises on liquor, tobacco, and gasoline.
