With a divided Congress on Capitol Hill and other issues dominating the debate, tax legislation is less of a focus than it was in late 2022 when Congress passed and the President signed into law the “Inflation Reduction Act,” which contained a number of important and complex tax changes affecting corporations and individuals, including a new 15% minimum tax on book income, a particularly important development given its similarity in name, but not operation, with separate work at the OECD to create a global minimum tax (Pillar Two) and to address the increasing digitization of the economy (Pillar One). However, many other tax policy proposals, like the new Section 174 R&D rules, were not addressed in a post-election Lame Duck session at the end of the year, and Congress is struggling to find a way to address those. This page is designed to keep you abreast of legislation and understand its impact through insights from trusted Deloitte tax specialists as well as to begin to think about the major tax policy challenges that must be addressed next year given how much of 2017’s TCJA is scheduled to expire at the end of 2025.
