Ending the deduction would affect indi-
viduals and companies unevenly.
If Amazon, now being frantically court-
ed by dozens of cities, decided to locate its
new second headquarters tn Westchester
County north of New York City, an afflu-
ent suburban area in one of the highest-ux
stales, the tech commerce behemoth still
would be able to claim state and local taxes
as a regular business expense, on par with
items like buying machine parts.
But the company’s employees living in
the area wouldn't be so lucky They'd take
a financial hit from toeing the ability to de-
duct their stale and local taxes from their
federal income calculations.
Trump and his Republican partners in
the nearly $6 trillton tax overhaul plan
push back against the idea that it would
benefit mainly wealthy people and corpo-
rations. And they say the rest of the coun-
try shouldn't have to subsidize wealthier
states like California and New York whose
residents use the state and local tax de-
duction in large numbers Defenders of
the state-local deduction, including sever-
al GOP House members, say repealing it
would hurt low- to mid-income taxpayers,
subject them to being taxed twice and en-
able a federal revenue grab on the backs of
homeowners who pay property taxes.
Corporations to keep tax break
lost hv millions of Americans
WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of
Americans would lose a prized tax break
under President Donald Trump's sweeping
revamp of the tax code, but corporations
would get to keep it.
The Republican proposal would elimi-
nate the federal deduction for state and lo-
cal taxes, a widely popular break used by
some 44 million Americans, especially in
hi^h-tax, Democratic-leaning states like
New York. New Jersey. California and Il-
linois But corporations, which pay billions
in local property levies and state income
taxes, wouldn’t be affected.
Republicans are determined to overhaul
the tax system by year's end. offering a
plan that lowers the corporate tax rate from
36 percent to 20 percent and reduces the
number of tax brackets
Democratic members of the committee
remained united in opposition to the cur-
rent plan, said Sen Ron Wyden of Oregon,
the top Democrat He said their message to
the president was. "You fix it (the tax sys-
tem) with real tax relief that helps the mid-
dle class You don’t give tax cuts to people
like him (Trump)."
The plan is still evolv mg w ith lawmak-
ers filling to the blanks, but the proposed
