\n\tTrump tax plan to rely on future U.S. growth to fund cuts<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>

\n\tTrump tax plan to rely on future U.S. growth to fund cuts:- U.S. President Donald Trump's tax reform plan will rely largely on future revenue gains from faster economic growth to justify major tax cuts, top Trump advisers said on Thursday.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs Trump's first 100 days in office draw to a close, the disclosure is the latest sign that the White House could part ways with congressional Republicans who want to pay for tax cuts by taxing imports and eliminating a business tax deduction for debt interest payments.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Some of the lowering in (tax) rates is going to be offset by less deductions and simpler taxes," Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said in a question-and-answer session on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank spring meetings in Washington.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"But the majority of it will be made up by what we believe is fundamentally growth and dynamic scoring," he added.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDynamic scoring is a little-known government forecasting method that uses economic modeling to predict changes in revenues resulting from economic growth spurred by new tax and economic policies.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRepublicans believe major tax reform would drive annual U.S. economic growth above 3 percent. But if anticipated improvement fails to materialize, the strategy could rob the Treasury of tax revenue and saddle the economy with bigger deficits and higher debt burdens.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMnuchin said dynamic scoring could give Trump and Congress a $2 trillion revenue cushion for the first major overhaul of the U.S. tax code since 1986.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGary Cohn, director of Trump's National Economic Council, told the same gathering that dynamic scoring would help avoid deficit-funded tax cuts that could not be made permanent under Senate fiscal rules.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"Using dynamic scoring may allow us to get to a permanent solution," Cohn said. "We would like a permanent solution."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tA congressional tax plan backed by House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan would raise over $2 trillion with a border adjustment proposal to tax imports while exempting exports from taxation, and by eliminating net interest deductions for businesses. But both measures have fierce opponents among businesses and Republican lawmakers.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMnuchin said border adjustment could hurt U.S. exports by driving the dollar higher, or fuel consumer inflation if the dollar does not rise.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe administration's goal is to unveil a plan soon that can quickly pass the House and Senate.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"This won't take 'til the end of the year," Mnuchin said. "It will be sweeping, it will be significant and it will create a lot of economic growth."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
