The Senate and House versions of the GOP’s tax reform bill differ significantly, which could make it harder for Republicans to pass what’s likely their last chance at major legislation before the end of the year. The Senate bill delays slashing the corporate tax rate until 2019 in order to preserve some tax breaks for the middle class.
