President Trump and Republican lawmakers passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, which made sweeping changes to the nation's tax code, including lowering the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 37% and nearly doubling the standard deduction.

But the law is set to expire in 2025, and Vice President Harris has vowed to repeal the Trump-era tax cuts. She has proposed raising the tax rate paid by large corporations from 21% to 28%, and also seeks to increase the federal small business tax credit tenfold, from $5,000 to $50,000.

President Trump has pledged to make all of the 2017 tax reform law permanent if he is re-elected in November.

“He wants to let the tax cuts lapse,” Trump said at a New Jersey rally in May. “Instead of Biden's tax increases, we're going to give you Trump's massive tax cuts for the middle class, upper class, lower class and business class. You're going to get the biggest tax cuts.”

Last week, the nation's Chamber of Commerce and 500 companies published an open letter to lawmakers in Washington and the next presidential administration, arguing that if the Trump tax cuts are not maintained, the country risks facing “the largest tax hikes in American history.”

“While the impact of large tax hikes on individual Americans is clear, it is critical that policymakers understand that the expiration of many of the pro-growth corporate tax reforms from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) will dramatically increase costs for families and customers, hurt Main Street businesses, reduce take-home pay for workers, and undermine innovation and American jobs,” Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement about the letter.

“A pro-growth tax system will not only grow the overall American economy, it will raise wages for American workers, Improving living standards“Preserving and improving our pro-growth tax system will help the United States remain globally competitive and retain and attract businesses, jobs, investment, and innovation home to the United States,” the statement continued.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment about the new website but did not immediately receive a response.
