The Joint Committee on Taxation, in a document dated November 4, provided budget estimates for the revenue provisions of Title XIII of the House’s updated budget reconciliation plan, the Build Back Better Act (<a href="/research/federal/legislative-documents/proposed-legislation/h.r.-5376---build-back-better-act---rules-committee/7ckrc" resolve="/7ckrc">H.R. 5376</a>). The JCT report covers fiscal 2022-2031, and among the provisions it examines are expanding the child tax credit; providing investments for clean energy, healthcare, housing, and infrastructure; and installing a 15 percent corporate minimum tax and a 3 percent surtax on incomes above $25 million. The cost for subtitle E, relating to infrastructure and community development, would be $29 billion over the 10-year period; subtitle F, for green energy investment, would cost $300.5 billion; subtitle G, the social safety net, would cost $202.4 billion; and subtitle H, the corporate and high-income tax reform provisions, would generate $1.5 trillion.  In all, subtitles E, F, G, and H of the reconciliation plan are estimated to cost $120 billion in fiscal 2022 and generate $188 billion in 2031, according to the JCT. A five-year estimated net total, between fiscal 2022-2026, is estimated to cost $14.2 billion.
