Change #3: Reduce the tax on S corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships to 25%.
Many taxpayers run their businesses as S corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. Under current law, no tax is levied on these businesses at the entity level; rather, the owner pays the tax on his or her share of the business income at the individual level, where as discussed above, the rates can rise as high as 39.6% under current law.
Under the framework released today, the business income allocated to these business owners would not be subject to progressive individual rates, but rather a flat rate of 25%.

Under the new plan, not progressive, not treated like ordinary income. They didn't pay 25% unless our AGI was over 75,901 under the progressive tax plan.
Under the new plan one pays 25% if income is over 90,000, but if its business income they pay 25% on all.
