What Can You Do To Lower Your Corporate Taxes

President Donald Trump signed a tax-overhaul bill, delivering a major tax cut to U.S. corporations along with a package of temporary cuts for other businesses and most individuals.

The bill slashes the corporate tax rate to 21 percent from 35 percent and cuts individual tax rates across the board.
