Republicans on Friday released their finalized [tax plan](http://time.com/money/5067044/gop-tax-plan-individual-obamacare-mandate/), which will cut rates for corporations and the rich, with hopes of sending legislation to President Donald Trump before the year’s end.

The bill presents a significant reduction for the corporate tax rate, going to 21% from 35%. The tax plan cuts rates for the wealthy and allows some tax savings for the middle class, the [Washington _Post_ reports](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/12/15/the-final-gop-tax-bill-is-complete-heres-what-is-in-it/?utm%5Fterm=.c7a1835903f1). The bill will further [eliminate the individual mandate](http://time.com/money/5067044/gop-tax-plan-individual-obamacare-mandate/), a part of the Affordable Care Act that penalizes people for not having health insurance, starting in 2019.

With support from Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who said he would [not vote for the bill](http://time.com/5066952/marco-rubio-gop-tax-bill/?xid=homepage) if it did not include a more generous per child tax credit for lower income families, as well as Sen. Bob Corker, the bill appears to be on a track to pass next week. Last-minute changes by lawmakers raised the child tax credit to $1,400 from $1,100 in previous versions of the bill.
