How the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Changed Corporate Investment

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and its lasting impact on corporate investment decisions. They focus on one specific provision: the full expensing of capital equipment, which allowed companies to immediately deduct the full cost of investments like machinery and software. Lucas explains how the policy aimed to boost business spending, and breaks down the data on investment growth versus the predicted surge. Luna challenges whether the tax cuts paid for themselves through economic growth, and they discuss the expiration of full expensing in 2023. Using examples from manufacturing and tech, they explore whether the policy achieved its goals or just padded profits. The episode ends with a look at the current debate over renewing the provision. #TaxCutsAndJobsAct #CorporateInvestment #FullExpensing #CapitalEquipment #TaxPolicy #BusinessInvestment #EconomicGrowth #Depreciation #Section179 #BonusDepreciation #Manufacturing #TechSector #TaxReform #Economy #FiscalPolicy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
