House Republicans are looking to raise the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap from $10,000 to $30,000 for individuals earning up to $400,000. While this move aims to support Trump's ongoing legislative agenda, notable dissent arises from New York Republicans, who argue that $30,000 is insufficient and unfairly inadequate for high-tax states. They express concerns that the proposal could jeopardize the passage of key legislation, highlighting a significant divide among Republicans regarding tax fairness and representation for residents in higher-taxed states.
House Republicans are planning to triple the SALT deduction cap to $30,000, despite calls from New York lawmakers that this figure is insufficient and could derail legislation.
Four New York Republicans criticized the $30,000 SALT deduction increase as 'insulting' and stated it risks derailing President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' emphasizing fairness for taxpayers.
New Yorkers currently send more tax dollars to Washington than they receive back, which has prompted calls for a fairer SALT deduction for high-tax states.
The SALT cap, originally set at $10,000 in 2017, is controversial among House Republicans, particularly impacting blue states with higher taxation.
