Across the board tax cuts can certainly lead to inflation. More, if they're large. Or less, depending on the extent to which they're financed by tax increases.

Most of us started getting more money in our paycheck as of earlier this year; CPI held basically steady at ~2.2% (it's actually, at least for the first quarter, been lower than last year's first quarter, https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm).
