Talks of doing another round of tax cuts bubbled up again over the spring break recess. As the Tax Policy Update team previously reported, House Republicans are considering teeing up a second package of tax cuts for a vote this summer.

The GOP fully appreciates the fact that another tax bill has little to no chance of passing the Senate. But still, they want to put Democrats on the record for voting against tax cuts — it’s a good talking point for the campaign trail. The forthcoming package is expected to focus on making the temporary provisions in the new tax law permanent. As a refresher, provisions affecting the individual side of the tax code are set to expire at the end of 2025.
