Details and Analysis of Senator Ted Cruz's Tax Plan By Kyle Pomerleau & Michael Schuyler Director of Senior Federal Projects Fellow Key Findings * Senator Cruz's (R-TX) tax plan would enact a 10 percent flat tax on individual income and replace the corporate income tax and all payroll taxes with a 16 percent Business Transfer Tax, or subtraction method value-added tax. In addition, his plan would repeal a number of complex features of the current tax code. Senator Cruz's plan would cut taxes by $3.6 trillion over the next decade on a static basis. However, the plan would end up reducing tax revenues by $768 billion over the next decade when accounting for economic growth from increases in the supply of labor and capital and the much broader tax base due to the new value-added tax. According to the Tax Foundation's Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to a 13.9 percent higher GDP over the long term, provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed. The plan would also lead to a 43.9 percent larger capital stock, 12.2 percent higher wages, and 4.8 million more full-time equivalent jobs. * On a static basis, the plan would cut taxes by 9.2 percent, on average, for all taxpayers. * Accounting for economic growth, all taxpayers would see an increase in after-tax income of at least 14 percent at the end of the decade.
