Inflation Rebates and Tax Changes for Families and Businesses

This act introduces one-time tax rebates for individuals to help combat inflation and modifies corporate income tax rates. Additionally, it imposes a new surcharge on high-income individuals, estates, and trusts. The legislation aims to provide financial support to citizens and adjust the tax system.
Key points
One-time inflation rebate: Individuals may receive $600 ($1,200 for joint filers) plus $600 per dependent.
Income limitations: The inflation rebate will be gradually reduced for higher-income individuals, starting at $40,000 for single filers, $60,000 for heads of household, and $80,000 for joint filers.
New surcharge for the wealthy: An additional tax of 5% and 3% will be imposed on high-income individuals, estates, and trusts with very high incomes (above $10 million for most taxpayers).
Corporate tax rate changes: Corporate income tax rates will be adjusted to a progressive scale of 18%, 21%, and 26.5% depending on income level.
Spending restrictions: Advance payments of inflation rebates will be disbursed via Treasury-sponsored accounts restricted strictly to use at grocery stores and for gasoline.
Protection from offset: Inflation rebate payments will not be subject to reduction, offset, or other legal processes.
