Limit Corporate Deductions for State and Local Taxes to $10,000

Summary: Under current law, C corporations subject to the federal corporate income tax may deduct all state and local income, property, and/or sales taxes from their federal taxable income. By contrast, individual taxpayers are limited to a state and local tax (SALT) deduction of $10,000.

This proposal would extend the $10,000 limitation to corporations’ state and local tax (C-SALT) deductions.1
