Legislation’s key points
The One Big, Beautiful Bill Act not only locks in permanent individual and business tax cuts from Trump’s 2017 tax law, but also introduces new tax breaks, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security.The bill also repeals certain green energy tax credits introduced under former US President Joe Biden, allocates $350 billion for defence and immigration enforcement, and includes Medicaid reforms.House Speaker Mike Johnson played a crucial role in getting the bill through Congress, though the vote wasn’t without resistance. A handful of Republicans, including Senator Rand Paul and Representative Thomas Massie, opposed the measure due to its $5 trillion debt ceiling increase.Tech mogul Elon Musk, once a Trump ally, also publicly opposed the legislation, urging lawmakers to “kill the bill” over concerns about the rising national debt.
White House, Treasury defend savings
Trump and US treasury secretary Scott Bessent have defended the bill’s impact.“The bill prevents a $4.5 trillion tax hike on the American people,” Bessent wrote. “This will allow the average worker to keep an additional $4,000 to $7,200 in annual real wages… and allow the average family of four to keep an additional $7,600 to $10,900 in take-home pay.”“Add to this the president’s ambitious deregulation agenda… these savings are the difference between being able to make a mortgage payment, buy a car, or send a child to college,” he added.A new White House calculator has also been launched to help Americans estimate their personal savings from the bill
