Trump's Election Win Signals Potential Extension of Tax Cuts
With a Republican majority, Trump's administration is poised to pursue tax policy changes, including extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
- Republicans control both the presidency and Congress, enabling potential tax policy changes along party lines.
- The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, set to expire in 2025, may be extended, maintaining lower tax rates for individuals and businesses.
- Economists predict short-term economic growth and stock market gains if tax cuts are extended, though concerns about the federal deficit persist.
- Republican proposals include further reductions in corporate tax rates and potential new tax relief measures, though internal party divisions exist.
- Potential revenue sources to offset tax cuts include cutting green energy subsidies and raising tariffs on imports, which could impact inflation.
