Numerous proposals for tax reform have been advanced in recent years in response to widespread concerns that the U.S. income tax system is inefficient, unfair, unnecessarily complicated and discourages economic growth. Recently, House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, joined with top policymakers in Congress and the Trump administration to release a framework for transformational, pro-growth tax reforms. He is now working to turn the plan into legislation that can be signed into law this year. At this event, Brady detailed how the reforms will create more jobs in the United States, simplify the U.S. tax code and enhance American competitiveness around the world.
