In the ongoing debate surrounding tax reform, Republican senators are considering a $30,000 cap on the SALT deduction as part of a major tax bill, a proposal that has sparked contention within the party. While some lawmakers push for cuts to the SALT (State and Local Tax) deduction, others, including key House Republicans, are resisting any changes that could undermine their positions. Prominent figures like Johnson have urged for minimal alterations to the current $40,000 SALT deal. The conflict has the potential to threaten significant tax legislation, with various factions voicing their strong opinions on the matter. Meetings between House Republicans and Senate leadership staff are expected as discussions continue on this contentious issue.
