Tax Savings for Students
Proposed in U.S. Senate
Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.)
proposed an amendment to the
tax reduction bill this week
that would provide tax credits
for the first §1.500 of a college
students expenses, including
tuition, books, fees and supplies.
Under Ribacoff's plan, a
\ taxpayer could subtract from
his final income tax bill up to
§325 a year to pay the expenses of sending a person to
a university or college.
The credit would be computed this way 75 per cent of
the first §200 in college expenses; 25 per cent of the next
§300 and 10 per cent of the
remaining SI,000. Thus, expenses of S300 would result in
a credit of §175, while maximum expenses of $1,500 would
give top credit of §325 in one
year.
The proposal faces formidable opposition, however, in the
Senate Finance Committee.
