House Passes Sweeping GOP Tax Bill, Senate to Follow

WASHINGTON — The House passed a sweeping $1.5 trillion tax bill on Tuesday that slashes tax rates for corporations, provides new breaks for private businesses, and reorganizes the individual tax code.

With the Senate expected to follow suit as soon as Tuesday night, President Donald Trump could sign the package, dubbed the Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, into law before week's end. It would mark his first significant legislative accomplishment and the biggest tax overhaul in a generation.

The Republican bill was approved on a 227-203 vote, with no Democrats supporting it. Twelve Republicans also voted against the measure.
