The Revenue Act of 1926 significantly lowered income taxes for individuals while slightly increasing corporate taxes. This legislation aimed to stimulate the economy during the 1920s and set a precedent for future tax policies. Ultimately, it contributed to consumer spending and investment but also played a part in the economic instability that led to the Great Depression.
