Final Tax Plan is out - 12/15/17
The completed version of the GOP tax bill will have seven tax brackets, sources told FOX Business on Friday.
As Republicans in the House and Senate prepared to release the details of the joint bill agreed upon by lawmakers across both chambers, sources said the GOP decided to stick with a seven-tier bracket system. The rates fall at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%.
