Corporate tax income revenue as share of GDP plunges

Taxes on individuals and companies brought in similar amounts of revenue as a share of GDP in the mid-1940s. But since then, corporate tax revenue has plunged, even as the share of GDP paid by individuals has remained steady. The 2017 corporate tax cuts cut revenue from companies to about the lowest level since the 1930s.
