Estimates how that over its first five years, the Tax Reform Act of 1985 (HR 3838) would be revenue neutral, with a reduction in revenue from the individual income tax just offset by an increase in revenue from the corporate income tax. This report describes the major changes in the individual and corporate income tax systems that would produce these revenue patterns. Notwithstanding the five-year revenue estimates, the report concludes that the bill would not significantly increase the tax burden on corporate-sector income. Further, in the long-run, the bill may lose tax revenue compared to revenue that would be generated under the current tax system.,Abstract -- Introduction and Summary -- HR 3838's Effect on Tax Revenues.
