WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Ways and Means Committee voted today to provide tax relief for families, workers, small businesses, manufacturers, and farmers. The One, Big, Beautiful Bill, makes the successful 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, provides additional tax relief for working families and small businesses, rewards investment and manufacturing in America, and holds woke elites accountable while ending tax giveaways to the wealthy, China, and illegal immigrants. These provisions will provide small businesses, manufacturers, and farmers the certainty and confidence to fuel a second Trump economic boom through new investment and job creation. Families and workers will save money from lower tax rates, a larger Child Tax Credit, and President Trump’s tax priorities for hardworking Americans: tax relief for seniors, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, and no tax on auto loan interest for American-made cars.
Instead of a $1,700 tax hike, working families still recovering from Biden’s inflation crisis will now receive on average a $1,300 tax cut and workers will get $3,300 more in real income back into their pockets. Permanence of the 2017 Trump tax cuts will save 6 million jobs, including 1.1 million manufacturing jobs.
Every committee Democrat voted against the tax relief package and for the largest tax hike in American history on 207 million taxpayers.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) released the following statement after committee approval of the legislation:
“America is one step closer to stopping the looming 22 percent average tax increase facing every American and, instead, rebuilding our economy for the working class. This cornerstone of President Trump’s economic agenda will put the interests and needs of working families and small businesses ahead of Washington, bring jobs and manufacturing back to America, and usher in a new golden era of prosperity. The average family will avoid a $1,700 tax increase and instead have $3,300 more in income, and 6 million jobs will be saved. It’s sad that every single committee Democrat voted for the largest tax hike in American history and against additional tax relief for families, farmers, and small businesses. Ways and Means Republicans will continue to work closely with President Trump and our House colleagues to get the One, Big, Beautiful Bill that delivers on the President’s agenda to his desk as soon as possible.”
