Harris proposes major corporate tax hike, reversing Trump era cuts

by August 19, 2024
written by August 19, 2024

CHICAGO — As the Democratic National Convention kicked off on Monday, Vice President Harris called for upping the corporate tax rate as the party’s presidential nominee unveiled her first big ticket proposal to raise revenues.

The Harris campaign confirmed to Fox News that the vice president is proposing to raise the rate that major businesses pay from 21% to 28%, describing it as ‘a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.’

‘As President, Kamala Harris will focus on creating an opportunity economy for the middle class that advances their economic security, stability, and dignity,’ campaign spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.

The move, if it were to become law, would likely raise hundreds of billions of dollars, according to projections from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The announcement comes as Harris is beginning to offer details on how she’d govern if she is elected president and how she would try to pay for expensive ideas she proposed last week, including expanding the child tax credit and easing the cost of homeownership and lowering medical debt.

The announcement would also constitute a major rollback of the 2017 tax cuts, the signature domestic legislation passed during former President Trump’s administration that dramatically cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Trump has pledged to cut taxes if he returns to the White House.

‘Our plan will massively cut taxes,’ Trump said at a campaign event on Monday at a factory in York, Pennsylvania. ‘I gave you the best tax cut in history.’

And he signaled that he would aim to use tariffs against competitors and allies alike by pushing for legislation called the Trump Reciprocal Trade Act.

But the Harris campaign says Trump’s proposed tariffs on overseas goods ‘would punish middle and working class Americans, so he can cut taxes for the richest Americans.’

Portions of the Trump tax cuts sunset at the end of 2025, which will spur a major debate next year over what parts should be extended.

Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller pointed to the Harris proposal in a social media post, writing, ‘[B]ye-bye economic growth, new hirings, investment, expansion, onshoring, and so much more!’

The new stance by Harris aligns her with the most recent federal budget proposal by President Biden, which also proposes boosting the corporate tax rate to 28%.

Harris replaced Biden four weeks ago at the top of the Democrats’ 2024 ticket after Biden announced he was ending his re-election bid and supporting his vice president as his successor.

But veteran Republican consultant and strategist Alex Castellanos told Fox News such proposals will do Harris no favors at the voting booth.

‘She does not need the spotlight on her or her policies. She’s been two sides of too many issues. And if she supports raising the corporate tax, that’s a job killer. You don’t need to hurt working people directly. All you need to do is hurt the companies working people work for,’ Castellanos said.

Fox News’ Emily Reynolds contributed to this report.
