Tax reform is part of the Trump Administration's initiative to create jobs and boost economic growth in the United States. President Trump signed into law on Dec. 22 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was the biggest overhaul of the tax code in decades. Parts of the new law include lower taxes for corporations and reducing the number of personal income tax brackets. This series focuses on the development of the law and what the accounting and tax community has to say.
