American taxpayers will get bigger refunds in the first half of this year as a result of Trump’s signature bill, economists say, with estimates for the aggregate boost ranging from $30 billion to $100 billion. Incentives for companies to invest in plants and equipment are also likely to bolster growth, while lower borrowing costs and steadier trade policy should help too.
