Both the Senate and House Republicans have now spoken about their preferred tax reforms. The differences between them are relatively minor.
The just-announced Republican tax plan is essentially the House “Better Way” plan proposed in June 2016. The business part of the tax reform transforms our corporate tax into a business cash flow tax (BCFT) by moving to full expensing and restricting interest deductibility.
As I’ve written, the House Republican tax bill has a lot to recommend it, including to Democrats.
