Competitive U.S. Tax System
Prior to the 2017 tax reform, the U.S. corporate rate was one of the highest among developed countries, which incentivized moving jobs and investment overseas. Tax reform leveled the playing field for American businesses and workers, spurring investment in the U.S. and helping to return $2.1 trillion in international earnings. Business Roundtable encourages policymakers to resist calls for higher business taxes and restore key expired provisions of the tax reform.
