It ought to be reported as an in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign. Republicans have stayed largely silent on the bombshell report, but Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass. Trump again pledged to make his taxes public after the completion of an IRS audit, which he has said for years is why he is not making the documents public. The Times reported that, boosted by a substantial increase in income tied to his celebrity in the 11 years after "The Apprentice" premiered, the president went on a spending spree unseen since the days before the demise of his finances of the early s.
But The Times said the documents revealed that the new ventures and acquisitions contributed to a drag on his bottom line rather than increased it. While The Times reported that Trump did not pay income taxes for several years, he did pay other forms of federal taxes, including Medicare, Social Security and the alternative minimum tax.
The Times has previously reported about Trump's tax information, having obtained such documents — although far fewer — earlier in Trump's presidency. Trump has waged a coast-to-coast legal battle throughout his presidency in hope of keeping the tax information hidden from the public.
Trump is the only president in the past 40 years to have withheld his taxes from the public. The updated draft legislation would include the following major changes, effective January 1, , unless otherwise noted:. Expand the base of the 3.
Create a 1 percent excise tax on the value of stock repurchases during the taxable year, net of new issuances of stock, effective for repurchases after December 31, Excluded from the tax are stock contributed to retirement accounts, pensions, and employee-stock ownership plans ESOPs. Create a new limitation on interest expense deductions for certain multinational corporations, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, Extend or make permanent certain ARPA expansions of premium tax credits, including allowing higher-income households to qualify for the credits and boosting the subsidy for lower-income households.
Make tax changes targeted at cryptocurrency, including imposing rules related to common control and wash sales. Modify the base erosion and anti-abuse tax BEAT for multinational corporations. While the latest proposal steers clear of some of the major tax rate increases of the original Ways and Means bill, this proposal would still raise taxes on work and investment, disincentivizing productive activity.
We estimate the new House bill would reduce long-run GDP by about 0. The bill would also reduce the capital stock by about 0. The proposed 15 percent minimum tax on corporate book income is the most economically damaging provision in the bill, reducing GDP by 0. The international tax increases imposed on U. There is an additional negative impact on GNP that we have not modeled due to a lack of empirical studies arising from the incentive for U.
In the years beyond , we assume the proposals have no impact on deficits to comply with the reconciliation process in the Senate. We treat the spending as transfer payments with no associated impact on the economy in the long run.
Note: We treat this spending as transfer payments with no associated impact on the economy in the long run. Items may not sum due to rounding. We relied on estimates provided by the JCT for tax provisions we did not model.
To estimate the spending, we used estimates provided by the White House framework and other independent estimates. Actual revenue could be less if, for instance, companies respond by reducing reported financial income.
Actual revenue may be reduced to the extent companies choose to reduce stock repurchases and instead hold excess cash, for instance. On the other hand, revenue may be higher than our estimate if firms shift toward dividends in response to the new excise tax, as dividends are often taxable at ordinary income tax rates. Actual revenue may be reduced further to the extent high-income individuals engage in other avoidance techniques that result in less reported income.
On a dynamic basis, i. Over the long run, the updated House tax proposals would raise marginal income tax rates faced by higher earners and corporations. In , however, the tax increases on high earners are more than offset by a more generous SALT deduction cap, which mostly accrues to households with higher incomes. The proposals would increase the after-tax income of the bottom quintile by about The top 1 percent of earners would experience a 0.
After the expanded CTC expires in , the bottom 40 percent of filers would see a smaller increase in after-tax incomes, reflecting the remaining expanded credits. The bottom quintile would experience a 0.
The top 1 percent would see a 3. On a long-term dynamic basis, the smaller economy reduces after-tax incomes relative to the conventional analysis and most of the expanded tax credits will have expired.
On average, the top 80 percent of tax filers would experience a drop in after-tax incomes. We use the Tax Foundation General Equilibrium Tax Model to estimate the impact of tax policies, including recent updates allowing a detailed modeling of U.
While Mr. Trump did not state specifically which corporate tax expenditures he wanted to eliminate other than deferral , we approximated this by eliminating those that did not have to do with capital cost recovery. We did not account for profit shifting from abroad due to a lower U.
An increase in reported income in the U. We also did not model the revenue impact of ending deferral. These are likely to be small in tandem with a corporate tax rate of 15 percent, because the 15 percent is lower than the average corporate tax rate abroad, so foreign tax credits make the additional U. Finally, it is worth noting that the Taxes and Growth Model does not take into account the fiscal or economic effects of interest on debt. It also does not require budgets to balance over the long term.
It also does not account for the potential macroeconomic effects of any spending cuts that may be required to finance the plan. Among these are the fiscal costs of higher interest payments, or the macroeconomic effects of the spending reductions needed to bring the budget into balance.

The plan would also lead to a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6. The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income.
Taxes long-term capital gains and qualified dividends at a top marginal rate of 20 percent. Creates a substantial zero bracket for lower income individuals.
