Republican leaders billed their decision to abandon a controversial plan to tax companies’ domestic sales and imports as an essential step toward uniting their efforts to overhaul the U.S. tax code—but its death adds new complications to an already intricate task.

A months-long effort by Senate Republicans to pass health legislation collapsed early Friday after GOP Senator John McCain joined two of his colleagues to block a stripped-down Obamacare repeal bill.

Republican leaders in Congress and the Trump administration released a joint statement Thursday on their progress on tax reform ahead of Congress’s August recess and the broad principles they plan to follow.

Republican leaders conceded on Thursday that the border-adjusted tax doesn’t have the support to continue to be part of negotiations to overhaul the tax code.

Congressional leaders and Trump administration officials have been meeting in secret to try to reach a united front for rewriting the U.S. tax code.

A retail trade group almost tripled its federal lobbying spending during the second quarter of 2017 as it tried to kill a centerpiece of House Speaker Paul Ryan’s tax plan—the border-adjusted levy on imports.

The president may fall short of a single major legislative accomplishment in 2017.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s new proposal to simply repeal Obamacare appears to be dead less than 24 hours after he dropped his replacement plan for lack of support among fellow Republicans.

House conservative leaders worry they’ll be forced to vote to advance a vehicle for a tax-code rewrite without knowing details of the plan, setting up a repeat of Congress’s troubled efforts on health-care legislation.

Senate Republicans dropped efforts to eliminate three Obamacare taxes on the wealthy in their latest health-care bill—but the party may revive that push in a tax-overhaul plan later this year.
