"Territorial Tax System" - not sure if that is good or bad.

I will never understand how the plant baws in the poli board can have such conviction in their assessment of how a tax law will be good or bad when there are thousands of CPAs still trying to figure it out



Exactly, there is no way to judge how good or bad a tax plan like this is until you have more details of the brackets and the tax defuctions and credits. Marginal rates mean nothing without any context of how they are going to be applied.

And then this board says shite like, "Libz are so irrational!!!" MAGA." Well frick, you are judging tax reform before the meat of the plan has been released. Pure emotion.

A territorial system taxes businesses on only income earned within a country's borders.

By contrast, the US worldwide system taxes the domestic and foreign income of businesses with US headquarters. Businesses can claim a “foreign tax credit” for taxes that their foreign subsidiaries (incorporated entities) or foreign branches (unincorporated entities) pay in other countries. This credit limits double taxation. Where the foreign tax rate exceeds the U.S. rate, no U.S. liability is generated. Where the US tax rate is greater, US businesses owe a residual tax on their foreign earnings equal to the difference between the U.S. tax rate and the tax that their subsidiaries paid in the foreign country where they earned the income.

Combine this with the lower corporate rate and it could be a big boon to businesses.

This plan can and should be passed.

Ryan should get off his BAT BS and have a vote on this as proposed TODAY!

It's what most countries do. UK moved to this a few years ago. The general rule is deferred taxation anyway so I doubt it makes that big a difference in revenue. It would simplify things a bit, though, since subpart F is a bitch with all exceptions and exceptions to exceptions.

Asking for Trump's tax return again. Mnuchin might have gaffed there by starting the response with, "The president has no intention..."
It's the truth, but it invites the question as to when Trump changed his mind. Was it election night as soon as he won? Or was he never serious about his promise.

Bracket ranges are negotiation points with Congress. Call your members of Congress ;)

33% bracket cutoff for singles is currently $190k. Campaign tax plan put it at $112k. Now they're saying 35% so if they don't move the cutoff I get a bigass tax hike.

In the pre election Trump plans my rate went from 28% to 33%

Assuming they keep the range the same my tax will now go from 28% to 35%

I thought the same thing at first. Then I read about the first $24K of income is tax free. So, you essentially just got an additional $24,000 deduction. So, that could negate any additional due to the different rate structure.

This was always my assumption. Not sure why it's a relevant question for this press conference, but I guess the media need their talking points.
