🇺🇸 Donald Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" – the largest tax cut in the U.S. in decades.
Key provisions of the law:
For individuals:
• No longer required to pay tax on tips, overtime, and pensions (until 2028).
• The standard deduction has been increased – now 15,750$ for singles and 31,500$ for families.
• The child tax credit has risen to 2200$ per child (only for U.S. citizens).
• All children born from 2025 to 2028 will have a $1000 account opened for them.
• The limit on the deduction for state and local taxes (SALT) has increased to $40,000.
• The estate tax threshold has been raised to $15,000,000$ (or $30,000,000$ for families).
For businesses:
• The small business tax has been reduced.
• Full expensing of equipment and technology costs can be claimed again.
Less spending on social support:
• The Medicaid program (free healthcare for the poor) is being cut – must work a minimum of 80 hours per month.
• Funding for food stamps (SNAP) is being reduced – millions of people may lose them.
Security and military:
• Hiring an additional 20,000 staff for border security.
• Increasing the U.S. military budget.
❗️But all this comes at the expense of growing national debt:
• New benefits will cost the budget $4,500,000,000,000.
• National debt will increase by 4,000,000,000,000$ over 10 years.
