What? How can that be? Reduce the taxes paid by corporations and individuals and the government gets more tax money. What's going on here?

A whole lot of numbers and graphs showing totals almost beyond belief. But, this makes more sense:

The Internal Revenue Service today released Notice 1036, which updates the income-tax withholding tables for 2018 reflecting changes made by the tax reform legislation enacted last month,” the IRS said that day in a press release. “This is the first in a series of steps that IRS will take to help improve the accuracy of withholding following major changes made by the new tax law.

The updated withholding information, posted today on IRS.gov, shows the new rates for employers to use during 2018,” said the IRS release. “Employers should begin using the 2018 withholding tables as soon as possible, but not later than Feb. 15, 2018. They should continue to use the 2017 withholding tables until implementing the 2018 withholding tables.”

It also depends on how quickly businesses updated their withholding tables to the new tax structure.
