One Big Beautiful Bill: Proposed Tax Changes Clear House and Proceed to Senate
On Thursday, May 22, 2025, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act), advancing proposed changes to the tax law that could significantly impact individuals and businesses. The Act extends several flagship provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and reflects certain campaign promises made by President Trump. In doing so, the Act raises excise taxes on certain tax-exempt organizations, eliminates many of the clean energy tax credits first introduced by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, and provides for a $4 trillion increase on the national debt limit.[1] Despite prior indications to the contrary, the Act does not address the treatment of carried interest. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the cumulative effect of the Act’s changes to the tax law will result in an increase to the federal deficit of approximately $3.8 trillion. The Act now heads to the Senate for consideration.
