"[19659003] The effect of the tax coverage on the companies was explained in March 2018 by GT Reilly & Co:

For tax years beginning January 1, 2018 or later, the corporate tax rate is simplified to a flat rate of 21%. This removes the previously tiered corporate tax rate structure approach of 15% to 34% for companies with up to $ 335,000 in revenue and 34% to 35% over $ 335,000. Non-calendar year corporations will have a mixed tax rate for the first year. For example, companies with March 31's end will have nine months to old interest rates and three months with the new 21% rate … Before TCJA, the company's alternative minimum tax (AMT) was 20%, but companies were exempted if they had an average annual income below $ 7.5 million. Beginning in 2018, the new law repeals the company's AMT. For companies that have paid the company's AMT in previous years, an AMT credit was allowed under previous law. The new law allows companies to fully use their AMT credit transactions, and the credit may be refunded.
