Spring 2018 issue of Horizons

New Tax Law Stirs Questions… and Opportunities Every household…and every business is impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was signed into law at the end of 2017. Our country hasn’t experienced tax code changes this significant in more than 30 years. Throughout this issue of Horizons , you will read about the many ways you and your businesses are impacted by the new tax law. Our talented tax professionals have written many articles – some specific to your industries – that break down the changes and help you identify opportunities. In early February, RubinBrown held a webinar titled “What Every Financial Executive Needs to Know About The New Tax Law.” We were pleasantly surprised that more than 700 of our clients and friends registered for this two-hour webinar. On our website ( www.RubinBrown.com/HR1 ), you will find a resource center that includes a number of tools and information to help you navigate the provisions of the new tax law. We have posted a rebroadcast of the webinar if you weren’t able to join us in February. You’ll also find a printable overview of the law, which includes straightforward explanations of the more complex matters.

Steven J. Brown, CPA Chairman, Tax Services Group

Note, because this entire issue of Horizons is dedicated to the new tax law, Steven J. Brown, Chairman of the Tax Services Group has been asked to author the Chairman’s Corner.

We have received many questions on the new tax law, but the one area that is most asked about is the deductibility of meals, entertainment and transportation expenses. In fact, when we sent out our E-Focus Newsletter on the topic, our website was so overloaded with hits, that it nearly brought it down. I would encourage you to read our full article on our website by visiting www.rubinbrown.com/Entertainment-Tax. Please continue to reach out to us with your questions. We are working hard to make sure we’re serving you at the highest levels in this changing and evolving business environment.

Pleasant reading,
