Trump's tax plan was officially released today (April 26).
The plan included various cuts and reductions to both corporate and personal tax rates. The corporate tax rate is set to be reduced to 15%, down from the current 35%, and U.S. companies would owe little to no tax on future overseas profits. Trump also proposed a 35% top tax rate for individuals, down from today's 39.6%. However, this is still above the 33% rate he backed during the campaign. Lower brackets would be set at 10% and 25%, and married persons would not be taxed on the first $24,000 of their income.
Trump proposed the estate tax and alternative minimum tax would be repealed.
Yet critics point out that the plan fails to include some key promises of Trump's campaign – like the border adjustment tax. This may be viewed as a negative by those in Washington, but it's a win for investors…
"This is good news for anybody that imports anything across borders," said Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald today on FOX Business' "Varney & Co." "This is good all around — less government means a bigger wallet."
Here's a simple visual that explains the plan so far…
