SEC. 501. POLICY ON MIDDLE-CLASS TAX RELIEF AND REVENUES.
It is the policy of this resolution to minimize fiscal burdens on working families and their children and grandchildren. It is the policy of this resolution to extend the following tax relief consistent with current policy--CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(1) relief for the tens of millions of middle-income households who would otherwise be subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) under current law;CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(2) middle-class tax relief; andCommentsClose CommentsPermalink
(3) elimination of estate taxes on all but a minute fraction of estates by reforming and substantially increasing the unified tax credit.CommentsClose CommentsPermalink
In total, this resolution supports the extension of $1,700,000,000,000 in tax relief to individuals and families relative to current law. This resolution supports additional, deficit-neutral tax relief, including the extension of AMT relief, the research and experimentation tax credit, the deduction for State and local sales taxes, the enactment of a tax credit for school construction bonds, and other tax relief for working families. The cost of enacting such policies may be offset by reforms within the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that produce higher rates of tax compliance to close the ‘tax gap’ and reduce taxpayer burdens through tax simplification. The President’s budget proposes a variety of other revenue offsets. Unless expressly provided, this resolution does not assume any of the specific revenue offset proposals provided for in the President’s budget.
