The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, passed with only Republican votes, became the signature legislative achievement of the Trump administration. Tax rates for individuals and corporations were cut, new incentives were created, the standard deduction and estate tax exemption were increased, and the U.S. moved toward a territorial tax system.
