Trump's Tax Agenda: Potential Cuts and Economic Impact

President-elect Donald Trump is planning an ambitious tax agenda that includes slashing corporate tax rates further from 21% to 15% and potentially eliminating income taxes, replacing them with tariffs. He also aims to repeal the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions (SALT), a move that could face bipartisan challenges. With the possibility of Republican control of Congress, extending and expanding tax cuts is a priority, though some proposals, like the SALT cap repeal, may encounter resistance from both high-tax states and progressive lawmakers.

GOP Senate Victory: Historical Stock Market Trends and Election Results

Republicans have regained control of the U.S. Senate, which historically bodes well for Wall Street, as it suggests corporate tax rates will remain low, encouraging share buybacks. With at least 51 seats secured, the GOP's control could influence fiscal policy, though the impact depends on whether they also win the House and presidency. A divided Congress could lead to political gridlock, but a Republican Senate likely means no immediate corporate tax hikes, a key concern for businesses.

"Tax Avoidance: U.S. Drug Makers' Profits Soar Despite Low Corporate Tax Payments"

Many large U.S. pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, are paying taxes well below the 21% corporate tax rate, with some even reporting losses despite significant domestic sales. This is achieved through complex tax strategies involving offshore subsidiaries and intellectual property licensing. Despite efforts to change this, it is unlikely to see significant change in the near future.

"Report: Top Executives Paid More Than Federal Taxes by Dozens of Big U.S. Companies"

A new analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness reveals that top executives at dozens of major U.S. companies received more in compensation from 2018 to 2022 than the companies paid in federal taxes. This report comes as President Biden proposes to increase the corporate tax rate to 28%. The study highlights the growing income and wealth inequality, with CEOs earning about 344 times more than the typical worker in 2022. The report also points out that many corporations pay effective tax rates lower than the statutory 21% federal rate due to loopholes and breaks, exacerbating the nation's debt and income inequality.

"Singapore's Budget 2024: Supporting Clean Energy, Retirement, and Fiscal Stability"

Singapore's budget deficit for 2023 widened more than expected, but the country anticipates a small surplus in the 2024 financial year. Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong pledged increased support for households and companies to cope with rising costs, including vouchers, cash handouts, and utility bill rebates. Additionally, a temporary financial support scheme will be introduced for laid-off workers, marking a shift for Singapore, which traditionally lacked unemployment benefits. The government also announced business incentives, such as a corporate income tax rebate and cash payouts for companies hiring local employees. Singapore will implement components under pillar 2 of BEPS 2.0 to bring the minimum effective tax rate of large corporates to 15%, with potential implications for the country's tax base.

Vietnam Parliament Approves Global Minimum Corporate Tax, Impacts Samsung and Intel

Vietnam's parliament has approved a global tax reform that will raise the effective tax rate on multinationals, including Samsung, to 15% starting from January 1. The move is expected to impact foreign investments in the country. The government has also delayed measures to offset the higher levy, potentially affecting the economy. Vietnam's corporate income tax is currently set at 20%, but it has offered lower effective rates to large foreign investors. The new tax rate will result in a significant increase in tax costs for 122 foreign companies, with Samsung likely to bear a large portion of the additional tax bill. The government estimates the additional tax revenue at 14.6 trillion dong ($601 million) per year.
