President Trump was elected on a mantra of America First, and lower taxes.

We’ve seen a number of policies trickle through to promote his first agenda, such as the tearing up of free trade agreements. It’s his lower corporate taxes though, that have helped spur financial markets to new heights.

Trump and the Republicans are aiming to reduce corporate taxes from the current 35% down to 15-20%. The logic is the lower rate will stop the incentive for corporate America to use other lower tax jurisdictions to keep profits offshore. This would in turn drive economic growth, and eventually increase the competitiveness of US companies.

A Deloitte Tax LLP survey of 3,100 people released this week, suggests the private sector is less optimistic about these changes coming to fruition than Trump himself. 40% believed the rate would become 25% not 15% due to budgetary and political challenges. Further, 74% believed a comprehensive tax bill would not be enacted this side of the calendar year.

If the Deloitte survey respondents are correct, this could spell trouble for the over complacent and optimistic financial markets.
