- Tax Code Overhaul! Sub Bullets Copied from Article….For individuals, the budget calls for:
- Lower income tax rates;
- An increased standard deduction;
- Help for child and dependent care expenses;
- Protection for home ownership, charitable giving, and retirement savings
- Repeal of the alternative minimum tax, the net investment income tax, and the estate tax.
For businesses, the budget calls for:
- Lower tax rates;
- Elimination of most tax breaks;
- A move to a territorial system of taxation, including a one-time repatriation tax on accumulated overseas income.
