Friday, March 2, 2018
8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Mercedes-Benz Training Center/Bill Taylor Institute
Vance, AL
We will explore what the new year will bring as we take a look at the Economic Outlook for 2018 for the U.S., Alabama and Germany. German subsidiaries in the US are growing and investing heavily despite some skepticism regarding the state of free trade and the availability of a skilled workforce, according to the 2018 German American Business Outlook (GABO) survey conducted by German American Chambers of Commerce (GACCs), the Representative of German Industry & Trade (RGIT), and KPMG but what else does the survey show?
On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" into law, marking the most consequential tax reform legislation in the U.S. in three decades. We will look at the impact of the tax reform will affect foreign businesses with US subsidiaries and nationals that are temporary working in the U.S.
