Local officials celebrate increased SALT tax deduction in Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’
- On May 27, 2025, local officials gathered in Staten Island to celebrate the House passage of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' which increases the SALT deduction cap.
- The bill, advanced by House Republicans including blue-state members, lifts the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000 for filers earning up to $500,000, following intense negotiations.
- The legislation also extends the 2017 tax cuts permanently, cuts entitlement and clean energy tax credits, and raises border spending while facing opposition from fiscal hawks seeking deeper cuts.
- The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the SALT cap increase will add $130 billion to the deficit, while the overall tax package could cost $3.9 trillion over ten years, mainly benefiting higher-income taxpayers.
- If the Senate approves, the bill could reduce federal taxes for many homeowners in high-tax states like New York but is expected to primarily benefit higher earners, with uncertain effects on middle-class relief.
