EY Kazakhstan: US Tax

Shape of the new US tax heart

As a candidate, President Donald J. Trump had a campaign promise to deliver significant reform to the United State tax code. On December 22, 2017, he delivered on that promise by signing into law Public Law 115-97, an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 (the “Act”) to amend the Internal Revenue Act of 1986. The Act is the most extensive US reform since 1986 due to the volume and large impact of all the changes made in the legislation. Originally, President Trump and legislators intended to make tax filing as simple as completing a postcard, but they ultimately fell short of this lofty goal.

Though the Act failed to simplify tax filing requirements, there are many notable tax changes that impact individuals and vast changes to the US corporate tax regime. For those US citizens or greencard holders residing outside of the US, or foreign individuals with US investments, it is an important time to review their income tax situation and determine whether any changes to investment structures would be beneficial.
