The new GOP tax plan delivers a big tax cut to the wealthiest Americans while some in lower tax brackets would end up paying more, according to an analysis Friday from prominent nonpartisan researchers.

Meanwhile, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association welcomed the tax plan, saying cattle producers are "very pleased" with the President's plan.

Next year, a household earning between about $48,000 and $86,000 would save $660 on its taxes. The top 0.1% ($3.43 million and up) would get nearly 40% of all the benefits, collecting an average break of more than $1 million a year.

The US federal tax rate for corporations is 35% - the highest in the OECD.

"Today, the House, the Senate, and the White House unveiled the framework for tax relief for families and businesses". Items in the previously released guidelines-such as the border adjustment tax in the blueprint and the 15% corporate tax rate in the White House outline-appear to have fallen by the wayside, so we anticipate adjustments to this framework, especially as the details are filled in. That generated immediate pushback from lawmakers in high-tax states where, in some cases, half of taxpayers claim that deduction.

For individuals, the framework proposes reducing the number of personal tax brackets from seven to three, which would be taxed at 12%, 25% and 35%. "Simplification of the code will also make it less maddening to actually do your taxes as well as ending some blatant inequalities". "I look forward to working with my colleagues in achieving this historic opportunity to create a fairer, simpler, less burdensome tax code for the American people". "TPC makes a variety of overreaching and unrealistic assumptions about policy decisions members of Congress still have to make as we draft pro-growth tax legislation". Outside experts said that puts real limits on interpreting the results - and Republicans said the findings were biased. The plan will also likely be paid for largely by cutting tax benefits for the rich including the State and Local Tax Deduction, and explicitly leaves room to set a higher tax rate for the wealthy upon further negotiation. Make no mistake: "the recent progress in the campaign for tax relief should bring optimism to the 29 million small business owners and the roughly 56 million people that depend on them for their livelihoods".
