Comparison of Tax Reform Proposals
February 24, 2017, Covington Alert
With the Republican Party now in control of the White House and both houses of Congress, and with both President Trump and GOP Congressional leadership having publicly committed to enacting comprehensive tax reform, we believe that passage of a tax reform bill is likely to occur later this year or next year. This timing creates an urgent need for clients to understand the key elements of existing tax reform proposals, and how the proposals could affect them.

On April 26, 2017, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn introduced the Trump Administration’s tax reform proposal (the “Trump Proposal”) in a briefing. The proposal appears to borrow heavily from the tax reform plan put out by Mr. Trump during his presidential campaign with the significant exception that this reform proposal advocates adoption of a territorial tax system.
The proposal, set forth in a bulleted one-page document, was notably short on details, and Secretary Mnuchin stated that many details will be finalized in subsequent discussions with Congress. We highlight the major components in the Trump Proposal that we anticipate will be of the greatest interest to our clients.
