As 2017 comes to an end, Tax Reform remains top of mind for individuals and businesses. While there has been significant progress already on both bills, we still have a long way to go, and many hurdles to clear, before Tax Reform becomes a reality. Still, it makes sense to begin thinking about the provisions of these proposals, especially as we approach the end of the calendar year, and consider specific tax planning strategies that might benefit our clients.
SC&H Group recently held our annual Year End Tax Planning Webinar which focused on how the unfolding Tax Reform will affect how you close out 2017 tax planning and prepare for 2018 initiatives. Our panel of experts provided critical insights that all individual taxpayers, corporate taxpayers, and international tax entities need to know heading into 2018.
Highlights include:
- Moving from seven tax brackets to three to four
- Elimination or caps on popular deductions
- Repeal of Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
- Corporate tax reductions
Below you will find the key objectives covered in each section and the recordings of each subject matter area our panelists covered.
