Discover Financial: Tax Cuts and Payment Services Division

Discover Financial: Tax Cuts and Payment Services Division

In late 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed, in which corporate taxes were reduced substantially. Discover Financial Services (DFS) has its operations mainly in the US, allowing the company to pay a lower tax rate, which could benefit its long-term growth. Discover expects to pay lower taxes, which would result in higher cash flows that the company could deploy in its business activities.
