The United States Senate Committee on Finance: Home

Tax Reform Option Papers

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) have launched a process for the committee to begin developing a proposal to reform America’s tax code. Over the next several months, the committee will convene weekly to discuss a series of options papers on a wide range of issues within tax reform. These option papers will include ideas from across the spectrum and, as such, do not necessarily have the endorsement of either the Chairman or Ranking Member.
