Congress.gov states H.R. 1 became Public Law No. 115-97 on 12/22/2017. Its summary says it reduced tax rates and, in section 13001, reduced the corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35% to a flat 21%.

The same-term outcome moved in the opposite direction on corporate tax burden despite Booker's no vote, so this part of the promise was not delivered in that term.

Congress.gov states H.R. 5376 became Public Law No. 117-169 on 08/16/2022. The public-law summary says section 10101 imposes a 15% alternative minimum tax on domestic corporations with average annual adjusted financial statement income exceeding $1 billion, and section 10301 provides additional IRS funding for taxpayer services and enforcement.

The enacted law partially delivered the fair-share promise in a later term by creating a large-corporation minimum tax and funding tax enforcement.

Public Law 117-169, section 10101, provides that for an applicable corporation the tentative minimum tax is 15 percent of adjusted financial statement income over the corporate AMT foreign tax credit. The law defines applicable corporations using a $1 billion average annual income test and includes special rules for foreign-parented multinational groups.

The statute directly addresses large domestic and multinational corporate tax liability, matching the promise's focus on actors at home and abroad paying by the same rules.

It said IRA resources support enforcement involving complex partnerships, large corporations, and high-income, high-wealth individuals.

Implementation of the later law produced concrete tax-compliance results against wealthy taxpayers and large entities, supporting partial fulfillment of the fair-share promise.
