The Single Number That Explains Corporate Tax Reform

In the first episode of The Tax Policy Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna anchor the conversation around a deceptively simple number: the 21% US corporate tax rate. They trace its origin to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, unpack the political and economic debates it has sparked, and compare it to global averages. Specific examples include how the rate influenced Apple's decision to repatriate hundreds of billions of dollars and how it shapes current congressional negotiations. The hosts also explore the gap between statutory and effective tax rates, using Disney and Amazon as contrasting case studies. Lucas and Luna establish a tone of thoughtful, evidence-based analysis, promising listeners a show that drills into the mechanics of tax policy without partisan noise. #CorporateTax #TaxCutsAndJobsAct #Apple #Disney #Amazon #EffectiveTaxRate #GlobalTaxCompetition #FiscalPolicy #TCJA #Congress #TaxReform #Economics #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPolicy #Repatriation #GDP Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
