Republicans advanced a second round of tax cuts to the House floor Thursday, setting up a major messaging vote for the chamber before the midterm elections.

“Tax Reform 2.0 is our commitment to American workers that our code will remain the most competitive in the world,” said Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, the committee’s chairman. “Never again will America fall so far behind.”

The centerpiece of the legislation would get rid of the individuals' tax cuts 2025 end date that Republicans wrote into the law for procedural reasons. The bill advanced Thursday would permanently extend the lower individual income tax rates, the child tax credit, the larger standard deduction, and the new tax break for businesses that file through the individual side of the tax code. The cuts would represent around $250 billion annually for the years after 2025.
