Biden corporate tax hike would cut 159K jobs and lower wages: Tax Foundation
by Tyler Van Dyke
| February 24, 2021 06:00 AM President Biden's plan to increase the corporate tax rate would weaken economic recovery and hurt competitiveness, according to a report from the Tax Foundation.
Throughout the 2020 presidential campaign, Biden said that he planned to increase the corporate tax rate to 28%, a sharp rise from the current 21% set by former President Donald Trump's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act but still well below the pre-2017 corporate rate of 35%.
The report found that the increase would bring the United States's federal-state combined tax rate to roughly 32% — the highest statutory tax rate in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Such a tax hike would "increase the cost of investment in America" and "reduce long-run economic output by 0.8 percent, eliminate 159,000 jobs, and reduce wages by 0.7 percent."
