  The T a x Cuts and Jobs A ct is the largest change to U.S. tax policy in decades and most of it is set to go

  into effect in 2018. Here are just a few key provisions affec ting manufacturers:

   Reduction of the Corporate T a x Rate: This is a huge win for manufacturers, reducing the

  top corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

   Repeal of Corporate A lternative Mini mum T a x (AMT): Keeping the corporate A MT

  would have made it difficult for businesses to reduce their eff ective corporate tax rate lower

  than 21%.

   Pass-Throug h T a x T r eatment: Raises the deduction available to pass-through filers to

  20%. This should be a net positive for the industry . 

   Repeal of Domestic Produ ction Activities Deduction:

   

   Eliminate Ability t o Carryback Net Operating Losses:  

   

   Immediate Expensing of Certain Capital Expenditures:

   

  Tackling T a x Reform: 4 Steps Manufacture rs Can Take N ow

  1. Assess impact. Engage your tax advisor in a review of your org aniza tion’ s specific

  circumstances to assess the impact of each provision on your business.

  2. Assemble a team. Whi le the heaviest burden ma y fall on accountants, companies and their

  finance teams will have an important role to pla y to gather all the necessary data.

  3. Dig into the data. Assessing the impact of tax reform requires a substantial amount of data.

  Focus on data collection and computations as soon as possible. If you have an international

  presence, bear in mind that some of the information needed could date back to 1987.
