Senate Republicans plan to propose delaying a cut in the corporate tax rate until 2019, according to a GOP senator.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) also said the individual mandate will not be repealed as part of the Senate tax overhaul proposal expected to be released Thursday.
The proposal breaks with President Trumps preference that a corporate tax cut be put in place immediately. The House's tax-reform legislation proposes lowering the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent in 2018.
Other big changes from the House version include adding back in a deduction for medical expenses and a full repeal of state and local tax deductions.
