Tax Provisions Cut Out of Spending Bill

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) “said Tuesday that he doesn’t expect lawmakers to include any tax provisions in a must-pass spending bill lawmakers hope to move before quitting for the year,” Politico reports.

“That would dash the hopes of Democrats still trying to squeeze through at least a piecemeal expansion of the Child Tax Credit.”

“It would also mean those still hoping to move a number of other provisions dealing with corporate taxes, the gig economy and retirement may have to wait until next year — when negotiations will only become harder once Republicans take control of the House.“
