President Trump signed the Cut and Job Tax Act on December 22. The Senate passed the bill on December 20 by a majority of 51 to 48; Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) Was absent for medical treatment. The House passed the bill later in the day with a vote of 224 to 201. Not Democrats in the House supported the bill and 12 Republicans voted no, with most of them California, New York and New Jersey represented; Taxpayers who perform in these high tax states are likely harmed by the reductions in the state and local tax deduction law.
It was Parliament's second vote on the bill in one week. After passing a law passed on Tuesday, they were forced to change after the Senate MP had three of its provisions removed. This could not be applied as part of the accelerated reconciliation process that Republicans used to avoid a democratic parliamentary obstruction, parliamentarians decided.
The review will be in the coming decade of several hundred billion dollars the federal deficit - and perhaps even more than $ 2.0 trillion - increase. Estimates vary according to the assumptions about how economic growth will spur the law a lot, but there are no independent estimates, Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin in forecasting a net reduction in national debt predicts to following the revision.
The law permanently lowers corporate tax rates and individual tax rates. It is the individual mandate, a key provision of the Affordable Care Act that is likely to increase insurance premiums and the number of people that will significantly reduce with permanently removed cover. It is expected that the highest incomes will benefit the most from the law, while low-income people will actually pay more taxes when the most individual tax provisions expire after the 2025th

income tax rates
The law maintains the current structure of seven individual income tax brackets, but in most cases it reduces interest rates: The maximum rate went from 39.6% to 37%, while the limit from 33% drops to 32%, the limit from 28% to 24%. , the 25% to 22% and the 15% to 12%. The bottom bracket remains at 10% and the 35% range is also unchanged. The income brackets for which the new rates apply, are lower compared to 2018 under current law for the five highest levels.
The changes will be temporary and will take effect in 2018 and in the end after 2025, as is the case with most tax breaks. The expiration date will allow the Senate to comply "reconciliation" rules that block a democratic filibuster - against Republicans can not vote - only if the law has increased the deficit by one year outside a window 10 years, and when remains in its budget constraint of $ 1.5 trillion over the 10-year window. Congressional Republican leaders have pointed out that personal tax cuts are being extended at a later date.
