Analysis and observations on the tax title for the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"
The U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 2025, passed , the budget reconciliation bill known听as the 鈥淥ne Big Beautiful Bill Act.鈥�
The bill would generally make the tax provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts听and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent, such as the lower rates for individuals and for the international provisions global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). The bill would also make several important adjustments to current law, including increasing the section 199A deduction for passthrough businesses and would restore for years 2025 through 2029 several expired business tax benefits from the TCJA, including the deductibility of U.S. research and development costs under section 174 and 100% bonus depreciation. The bill would also introduce for years 2025 through 2028 several new tax benefits proposed by the president during the campaign, such as 100% bonus depreciation for new manufacturing facilities and new deductions for tips and overtime pay.
To partially offset the cost of the above taxpayer-favorable changes, the bill includes a host of revenue-raising provisions, including an extension of the existing limit on the individual deduction for state and local taxes (SALT) (but subject to an increased cap), as well as early sunsets, phase outs, and other changes to the energy tax credits enacted in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The bill also provides for retaliatory measures on certain non-U.S. corporations and individuals if their home jurisdiction has adopted taxes deemed to be discriminatory or extraterritorial and would increase tax rates on certain university endowments and private foundations.
The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) provided estimated revenue effects of the provisions of H.R. 1 in .听Additionally, the JCT provided a technical explanation () and distribution of the estimated revenue effects () of the tax title as approved by the Ways and Means Committee.
