Trump’s Business Tax Cuts: A Focus on Tariffs and Taxes for US Companies
Trump's Tariff Plans
Trump is poised to hike tariffs, proposing up to 20% on foreign imports and a staggering 100% on countries that move away from the US dollar. His administration previously implemented tariffs impacting $380 billion in imports to promote American manufacturing.
The Impact of Tariffs on US Businesses
Although tariffs may encourage some US companies to produce domestically, they can also drive costs higher for manufacturers reliant on imports. Studies have shown that overall, these tariffs led to job losses in the manufacturing sector due to increased costs.
Proposed Corporate Tax Cuts
Trump's vision includes lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% for US-based manufacturers, contrasting sharply with his opponents. His approach aims to renew tax incentives that favor American production while imposing substantial tariffs on outsourcing.
Extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Trump seeks to extend key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that have expired, emphasizing benefits for pass-through businesses and immediate deductions for US-based research and investment.
