How Tax Proposal Will Work
The plan would impose a 10 percent surtax on federal income taxes starting June 10 if signed, with April 1 retroactive effect but collections begin in June. About 83 million corporations and others would pay, while 17 million in the two lowest brackets would see no increase. The surcharge ends June 30, 1969 unless extended, and taxpayers will owe extra when filing 1968 returns.
