Draft of New Tax Bill Delays Progress in Washington
In Washington on May 22, congressional tax writers faced estimates of up to 768.9 million dollars in added taxes for some taxpayers and potential veto risks. The plan would cut excise taxes by about 1.08 billion, speed up corporation tax payments, and may raise corporate tax rates to boost revenue. Hefty changes to capital gains taxes were projected to reduce yearly revenue by about 175 million, while lower rates could generate roughly 100 million in extra revenue.
