What is a government shutdown?
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is one of the largest tax code changes in 30 years and overhauls many provisions of tax law. Businesses, especially, will face dramatic tax changes.
On Tuesday, February 13, the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center brought together economists, practitioners, and other experts to discuss the business provisions of the new law. Separate panels examined the implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for pass-through businesses and for multinational firms.
