Corporate America is paying the lowest tax rates we've seen in 40 years.
114 corporations paid zero federal income tax in 2025.
Profitable companies received almost $200 billion in tax breaks.
See how we got here:

In 2025, just 6 corporations — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and J.P. Morgan Chase — received $84 billion in tax subsidies.
That's 42% of the total tax breaks we tracked for 706 profitable companies last year.

$32 billion in OBBBA tax savings will go offshore to foreign shareholders in 2026.

Higher costs have more than offset OBBBA's tax cuts for most income groups, except the richest 1%.
As the cost of living remains a top concern for Americans, these policies have left them worse off.

Wealth inequality isn't inevitable. It's the result of policy choices, and Washington is still making it worse.

Americans are right to be outraged about corporations paying too little in taxes.
Corporate tax revenue dropped by roughly $70 billion over the past year while corporate profits soared.
Trump's 2025 tax cuts for the rich have fueled that.

The lower your income is, the worse off you are under Trump's policies.
Our Federal Policy Director Steve Wamhoff explains, "...they’ve caused increased costs that more than offset those tax cuts by a lot for most people, except for the rich."

OBBBA helped Big Tech companies write off their costs for equipment – much of which was likely used for AI and data centers.
$27 billion in depreciation tax breaks went to 5 Big Tech companies alone last year.

Ohio and North Carolina have recently suspended their gas taxes, while Indiana extended its ongoing gas tax suspension.
State gas tax holidays will help corporations and visitors far more than those having a hard time paying for gas, at the expense of public infrastructure.
State lawmakers continue to pursue costly and ineffective gas tax holidays as the Iran War drives gas prices up nationwide.

Shoe maker Steve Madden received $92 million in tariff refunds.
After noting that it was “pleased overall with consumer acceptance of the price increases,” the company says it will use those tariff refunds to “pay down debt.”
