S-CORP Clips | Week of December 12

A compilation of the business tax related stories that caught our eye

Hatch Tax Reform Report

For weeks, there had been K Street rumors of a “secret” tax reform plan being put together by in-coming Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT).  Apparently, the “Comprehensive Tax Reform for 2015 and Beyond” report released yesterday is it, although it’s not so much a plan as an analysis of the current code and the challenges policymakers will face in reforming it.  After a quick review, it’s obvious the Finance Republican staff spent an enormous amount of time and effort putting this together and it

Extenders Update

The tax extenders front has been busy in the last couple days.  First, there was the rumor Monday that negotiators were close to a deal.  Tuesday, details emerged of a $450 billion package mixing ten permanent items with a two-year extension (2014 & 2015) of most other items.  And then yesterday evening the White House issued a veto threat against the package, leaving its prospects very much up in the air.

What’s remarkable about the White House veto threat is that it occurred at all.  To our recollection, this is the first time in six years the White House and

Extenders and Immigration

Last week, we did a post-election analysis that highlighted the broad implications of the new Republican Congress. A return to “regular order” and increased legislative activity overall, including in the tax space, was our basic conclusion.

S Corporations Hit by Tax Hikes

Our friends at McGladrey LLP have a new survey out of mid-market firms showing just how hard those companies have been hit by the tax rate hikes championed by President Obama and his allies in Congress.

Recall that in the run-up to the Fiscal Cliff, Ernst & Young released a paper on our behalf that predicted the higher rates set to begin in 2013 would hurt investment and job creation by significantly hiking taxes on mid-sized employers.  Over the long-term, E&Y estimated the U.S. would lose 710,000 jobs.

Now McGladrey’s survey shows just how those job losses and lower investment
