Statement From KPMG On Tax Reform Bill Moving Out Of Conference

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- KPMG LLP, the audit, tax and advisory firm, offered the following perspective in response to today's release by the U.S. Congress of an approved tax reform bill:

"With this evening's release of an approved bill from tax reform conference committee, the rewrite of the U.S. tax code moves one step closer to reality," said John Gimigliano, Partner-in-Charge of Federal Tax Legislative and Regulatory Services, at KPMG. "Congressional Republicans have successfully cleared every legislative and procedural hurdle to date, and there's no reason to expect that the final votes next week by the House and Senate will hold them back from delivering something to the President very soon."

"Companies will have to move quickly to incorporate the vast changes in the tax code into their fourth-quarter and year-end financial statements," said Jeffrey C. LeSage, Americas Vice Chairman – Tax, at KPMG.
