US Tax Bill Positive For Malaysia In 2018 US Senate Republicans passed a tax reform bill on 20 Dec 2017, aimed at delivering deep and permanent tax cuts for corporations to boost the country’s competitiveness and spur economic growth, while providing temporary tax cuts for individual tax payers until 2025. The move, however, would add an estimated USD1.447trn to the US Government’s budget deficit over a 10-year period from 2018-2027. The US tax reform bill reaffirms our view that global and Malaysian economic growth are expected to hold up well in 2018. Economist: Peck Boon Soon | +603 9280 2163 | ||||
