Trump's Return: A Mixed Bag for Business and Tech

Donald Trump's potential return to the White House brings mixed reactions from Washington state businesses.

"Major U.S. Companies Pay Executives More Than Federal Taxes: Report"

A new analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness reveals that dozens of major U.S. companies paid their top executives more than they paid in federal taxes between 2018 and 2022. This comes as President Biden has proposed raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent. The report aims to connect lucrative executive compensation packages to the lower tax rate set under the Trump administration. The analysis found that 64 companies paid their top five executives more than their federal taxes during at least two of those five years, with 35 companies, including Ford and Tesla, paying their top executives more than their taxes over all five years. The issue of how to tax wealthy corporations and individuals is expected to be a central theme in the upcoming presidential election.

"Biden's 2024 State of the Union: Focus on Tax Policy and Economic Agenda"

President Joe Biden plans to unveil tax proposals targeting wealthy Americans and large companies in his State of the Union address, including hiking corporate minimum taxes, curbing executive pay and corporate jet deductions, and imposing a 25% minimum tax on income for those with wealth over $100 million. These measures are part of a proposed fiscal 2025 budget aiming to decrease the federal deficit by $3 trillion over 10 years while cutting taxes for low-income Americans. The tax plans are expected to be a central theme in Biden's re-election campaign, setting up a contrast with the 2017 tax cuts signed by former President Donald Trump.

Supreme Court Weighs In on Taxation and Wealth Redistribution

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a tax case that could have significant implications for congressional tax policy and cost the federal government trillions of dollars in corporate taxes. The case involves the constitutionality of the Mandatory Repatriation Tax (MRT), which imposed a one-time tax on off-shore investment income. The plaintiffs argue that the tax violates the Sixteenth Amendment, while the government defends its broad taxing power. The court's decision could impact the implementation of future tax policies and potentially unravel a third of the tax code.
