The Ryan Plan for FY 2012

By Children’s Home Society of Florida Foundation

On April 5th House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI) presented his budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2012. The comprehensive proposal included over $4 trillion in reduced spending during the next decade and a plan to reduce both the personal and corporate top tax rates to 25%.

House Ways and Means Committee

The tax reform provisions will be handled by the House Ways and Means Committee. Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) noted that, “with nearly 4,500 changes in the last decade alone, the code is too complex. And with Americans spending over 6 billion hours and over $160 billion annually to comply with the code, it is too costly and too burdensome. Clearly, the time for comprehensive reform has come.”

Many Loopholes

Both parties have raised the possibility of tax reform this year. At a meeting in Pennsylvania, President Obama was asked about the potential for reforming corporate taxes. He noted that the U.S. has “one of the highest tax codes for corporations in the world.”

However, due to “many loopholes” a number of U.S. corporations pay little or no taxes. Moreover, President Obama suggests that it would be good “to reform our tax code, simplify it, lower the rate for corporations, but eliminate a bunch of the loopholes.”

Assessment

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner also indicated to the Senate Committee on Appropriations that he is developing a “comprehensive corporate tax reform plan” and it will be released quite soon. Sec. Geithner indicated his plan would include, “a very strong pro-investment, pro-growth, pro-competitiveness proposal.”
