Current report
On July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed new tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law which makes permanent many of the provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. We expect the enactment of the OBBBA to primarily impact the deferred tax liability and income tax payable related to the provisions for the elimination of the capitalization of onshore research and development costs (Section 174) and the reintroduction of 100% bonus depreciation (Section 168). We do not currently expect any material impact to the effective tax rate from the new legislation.
