Unlikely to pass

This bill focuses on a specific technical tax rule and currently only has Republican support. It will likely struggle to get enough votes to pass in the Senate.

Key Points

  • This bill changes tax rules to let businesses deduct more of the interest they pay on loans. It changes the formula used to decide how much interest a company can legally write off each year.
  • The plan would help companies that spend a lot of money on expensive equipment, buildings, or tools. Currently, those costs can limit a company's ability to get a tax break on their interest payments.
  • By allowing these deductions, the bill aims to make it cheaper for businesses to borrow money. This could lead to more spending on new factories, machinery, and other large projects.
  • If it becomes law, the new rules would start for the 2026 tax year. This would undo a recent change that increased the tax burden for many American manufacturers and builders.
