Paul Ryan’s tax plan is based on two core principles: lower tax rates and simplification of the tax code. The House GOP’s blueprint is intended to: (i) reduce the statutory top individual tax rate to 33 percent, (ii) reduce the top corporate rate to 25 percent, and (iii) completely eliminate loopholes in the tax system, thus making it fairer and simpler. The plan also provides for three individual tax rates— 10 percent, 25 percent and 33 percent, which is lower than the current rate of 39.6 percent. As a result, the total burden of taxation on individuals will be lowered. Furthermore, the Qualified Dividend and Capital Gain Tax Rate will be unified, albeit at a lower level.
