WASHINGTON—Congress voted in favor of President Donald Trump’s landmark tax plan on Dec. 20, paving the way for the first sweeping rewrite of the U.S. tax code since the Reagan years.

“It’s the largest tax cut in the history of our country,” said Trump at the White House during an afternoon event marking the bill’s passage.
