Even without the support of GOP leaders in the Congress, the Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee unveiled his plans for major individual and business tax reform at the federal level, arguing it is time to streamline the code and promote new economic growth at all levels.
"You're going to hear a lot about one provision or another," said Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI), "but the truth is, people want a simpler and fairer and flatter tax code."
Camp starts by taking the federal tax code from seven different tax brackets down to three, setting them at 10 percent, 25 percent, and then a 35 percent bracket that kicks in for those individuals making more than $400,000 a year and $450,000 for joint income tax filers.
The draft bill weighs in at 979 pages, making it almost impossible to adequately summarize, given the huge number of tax provisions that could be affected by the changes in the code.
"We close a lot of loopholes," Camp said, telling reporters at a news conference that his plan eliminates 228 different sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
On the business side, Camp would use a flat tax rate of 25% for corporations; he argued that would help spur new business growth.
Here are some of the highlights from Camp's plan, known as the "Tax Reform Act of 2014" -
+ The mortgage interest deduction would be phased down from a cap of $1 million to $500,000
+ The child tax credit would be raised to $1,500 and expanded to for single filers of up to $413,750 and joint filers at $627,500. The current phase out is at $75,000 and $110,000.
+ The Camp tax plan repeals the $3,900 deduction for personal exemptions on your tax form; that move would raise $859 billion over 10 years
+ Section 5301 of the Camp bill would repeal the tax-exempt status for professional sports leagues; currently the NFL, NHL, PGA and LPGA take advantage of 501(c)(6) tax-exempt status in the tax code
+ The plan repeals the 'medical device tax' from the Obama health law
+ The bill repeals the Alternative Minimum Tax for both individuals and businesses
+ The plan raises the gas tax for commercial cargo fuel used on inland waterways in the US
+ The Camp bill would raise $86.4 billion over ten years from a tax on large financial institutions
The bill also has a number of provisions that aren't really related to the tax code, but would reform the way the IRS operates.
One would specifically block IRS employees from using personal email accounts for agency business; another places a temporary moratorium on IRS training conferences until changes are made to rein in the costs of such gatherings.
The bill also requires the IRS to develop a new, easy to complete form for those Americans over 65 years of age, Form 1040SR, that would cater to the reporting needs of seniors.
The plan also steps up the penalties for failing to file your taxes on time.
