The Tax Policy Podcast with Fexingo: Income Tax, Corporate Tax, and Fiscal Conversations
Lucas and Luna sit down with the thick blue volume of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code between them, tracing the threads that connect personal income tax brackets to corporate tax inversions. Each episode examines one specific fiscal lever — the corporate rate, the carried interest loophole, the earned income tax credit — and traces its real-world effects on capital allocation, wage growth, and federal revenue. They avoid partisan shouting matches; instead, they walk through the arithmetic of a tax expenditure, compare it to direct spending, and ask how the burden actually falls. Lucas holds a f...

How Estate Tax Exemption Is Quietly Shaping Wealth Transfer 22.05.2026 9:25
Lucas and Luna dig into the U.S. estate tax, focusing on the historically high lifetime exemption of $13.61 million per individual set by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which is set to sunset at the end of 2026. They explore how this looming cliff is driving a wave of wealth-transfer planning among high-net-worth families, using the concrete example of a typical family business owner in Ohio. The...
How the Child Tax Credit Became the Tax Policy Battleground 22.05.2026 11:11
Lucas and Luna dig into the child tax credit — the single tax provision that has become America's most contentious fiscal debate. They trace the credit's evolution from a modest 1997 reform to the expanded monthly payments of 2021 and the political stalemate that followed. Lucas explains why the credit's structure — partially refundable, tied to work requirements, phased in — creates dramatically...
How the US Corporate Tax Rate Compares Globally in 2026 21.05.2026 9:30
In this episode of The Tax Policy Podcast, Lucas and Luna drill into a single number: the US combined federal and state corporate tax rate of 25.8 percent as of May 2026. They compare it to the OECD average, explain why Ireland's 12.5 percent rate is less relevant than its effective rate on tech giants, and walk through how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act shifted the US from the highest corporate r...
How a 1954 Tax Rule Shapes Today's Corporate Debt 21.05.2026 8:57
Lucas and Luna break down Section 163(j) of the tax code, a 1954 rule that limits how much interest corporations can deduct. They trace its origins — why Congress originally capped interest deductions after a wave of corporate takeovers — and examine how it plays out in 2026. With corporate debt at roughly $13 trillion and the Federal Reserve holding rates higher than the 2010s, the interest deduc...
The Single Number That Explains Corporate Tax Reform 19.05.2026 8:59
In the first episode of The Tax Policy Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna anchor the conversation around a deceptively simple number: the 21% US corporate tax rate. They trace its origin to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, unpack the political and economic debates it has sparked, and compare it to global averages. Specific examples include how the rate influenced Apple's decision to repatriate hu...
