\"unitedTAX PLAN<\/strong>. Trump tax plan doubles standard deduction, slashes taxes for corporations, raise rates for the lowest bracket<\/a>: \u201cThe plan would collapse the number of individual tax brackets from seven to three, with rates of 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. However, it also would give the tax-writing committees flexibility to add a fourth rate above 35 percent for the wealthiest taxpayers. The top individual rate is currently 39.6 percent. The bottom rate is currently 10 percent, but Republicans expect most people in that bracket to be better off under the framework, even though the bottom rate is increasing, thanks to an increased standard deduction.\u00a0The standard deduction would nearly double, to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples<\/a>. Doing so is designed to increase the number of people who end up in a zero percent bracket.\u201d<\/p>\n
