Hoeven highlighted the importance of ensuring that the tax package lowers rates for working Americans and small businesses. “Secretary Mnuchin and I had a good meeting to talk about the importance of passing tax reform that modernizes and simplifies the tax code,” said Hoeven. “I really drove home the importance of providing tax relief for hardworking, middle-income Americans, as well as our small businesses, including our farmers and ranchers. They’re the ones that create the majority of jobs in our economy and as they do so, they push wages and income higher for workers.” The draft Senate tax relief bill: Reduces the tax burden on hardworking American taxpayers. Provides a net tax cut of about $1,500 for a median income family of four. Increases the standard deduction for individuals to $12,000 and married couples to $24,000.

Doubles the Child Tax Credit to $2,000 per child. Benefits to Small Businesses, Farmers and Ranchers For the first five years, allows full expensing or writing off the cost of new investments Also expands the Section 179 expensing of equipment on a permanent basis. Doubles the estate tax exemption, while maintaining the step-up in basis for capital gains. Maintains interest deductibility for small businesses, farmers and ranchers.

Hoeven has repeatedly spoken on the Senate floor to outline tax reform priorities for the nation’s farmers and ranchers.
