Webcast: Tax Tuesday With Ed Zollars - One Big Beautiful Bill Act? Something Else? July 2025 Status of Legislation
2.0 Credits
Member Price $70.00
Non-Member Price $70.00
Overview
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in two versions, is moving through the Congress at this time. What are in the House and Senate bills? What is the status of an ultimate conference bill? What is the current status of the “Byrd Bath” review of provisions in the Senate? And what is this “Byrd Rule” anyway and why does it impact this bill. This session looks to answer those questions and more based on where the proposals stand at the date of the presentation. If no bill is passed then a large number of items enacted in 2017’s Tax Cut and Jobs Act will expire at year end—is that a realistic risk at this point? Or do we have a clear view of a bill that will clear both chambers? Attendees will gain a clear understanding of proposed legislation and strategic insights to navigate the evolving tax environment with confidence.
