Abstract

In the past two weeks, Senate and House Republicans have put forward parallel mark-up bills in a step toward reform of the U.S. personal and corporate tax systems. The respective bills titled, “TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT” (TCJA) are based on previous proposals put forward by Congressional Republicans, most notably their recent “UNIFIED FRAMEWORK FOR FIXING OUR BROKEN TAX CODE” released in September. Most relevant to U.S. competitiveness, large corporations would see a substantial reduction in the federal tax rate under both bills, with a drop from 35% to 20%.
