Major Provisions of Tax Cut Bill
Congress approved an 18.7 billion tax cut with extensive changes for individuals, capital gains, and business. Individual relief includes higher standard deductions, an increased exemption, and a refundable earned income credit paid with paychecks, while the personal credit is repealed. Capital gains gains inclusion rises to 60 percent with a new AMT and graduated rates, plus a one time exemption for older home sellers. Corporate rates fall to 46 percent top and 17 percent bottom, the permanent investment tax credit is liberalized, and employer hiring credits target hard core unemployment groups.
