The Trump administration is preparing to expand tax incentives for corporations as part of a broader effort to stimulate business investment and economic growth. The U.S. Treasury is expected to ease existing restrictions on corporate tax breaks, making it simpler for companies to deduct certain expenses and reduce their overall tax burden.
Officials say the move is aimed at encouraging capital spending, strengthening corporate balance sheets, and improving U.S. competitiveness, particularly as firms navigate slower global growth and tighter financial conditions. The proposed changes would build on earlier tax reforms by offering businesses greater flexibility in how they account for investments and operational costs.
Critics, however, argue that expanding corporate tax relief could widen the fiscal deficit and disproportionately benefit large firms, while doing little to address household cost-of-living pressures. Supporters counter that stronger corporate investment could translate into job creation and higher productivity over time.
The Treasury is expected to outline the full scope of the changes in the coming weeks, with implementation likely tied to upcoming budget and tax policy discussions.
