Hatch calls AMT relief bill a "wonderful present for U.S. taxpayers

Washington Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, released the following statement on final passage of a one-year temporary relief bill or "patch" for the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) by the House of Representatives. Hatch was a strong Senate backer of legislation to provide for the relief bill in the Senate, which voted on the measure earlier this month, and has been vocal in recent months on the need to repeal the AMT to protect American families from unfair taxation.

"This is a delayed but wonderful present this holiday season for the American family," Hatch said. "Because of this patch, 21 million Americans including more than 100,000 Utahns will not have to pay the Alternative Minimum Tax for 2007. Repeal or at least major reform of the AMT is still overdue, but I appreciate that Democrats in both chambers finally agreed that raising taxes on some Americans in order to prevent other Americans from facing a big tax increase was not a good idea."

For more information on the AMT, go to Hatch’s website at: http://hatch.senate.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=1963&Month=12&Year=2007 .

Christopher Theil named Mountain America’s Heber branch manager
