RECENT EPISODES
The repeal of green tax credits in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act significantly alters the United States' approach to clean energy, curtailing incentives that had stimulated investment and job growth in the solar, wind, and electric vehicle sectors. It also challenges prior assumptions about long-term tax expenditure planning and the role of tax policy in advancing environmental goals. Proponents argue that it improves fiscal discipline and simplifies the tax code by eliminating complex, industry-specific provisions. What is the net revenue impact of these changes over the next decade? Will they slow capital formation in energy markets? How will companies adjust their strategies to accommodate this change in policy priorities? Will the quick repeal of these credits affect how companies react to future incentives?
The IRS is at a pivotal moment for its future, and who better to weigh in than four former commissioners who led the agency through decades of change? As demands for greater efficiency and accountability grow, questions emerge about how the IRS can operate effectively with limited resources. What does a well-structured IRS look like in today’s fiscal climate? How can the agency meet goals for collections, privacy, and service amid calls for government downsizing? And what insights can these leaders offer to guide reform efforts that rise above politics?
The future of the OECD’s pillar 2 project and U.S. involvement remains a focal point of international tax discussions. As the global minimum tax continues to gain traction across jurisdictions, questions emerge about the direction of U.S. policy under the new administration. Can pillar 2 function effectively without U.S. participation? Are there possible compromises between the OECD and U.S. positions? How will companies be affected in a fragmented system?
Given the complexity of reconciliation, how will the process be used by Congress, and what will that mean for the future of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and other Trump administration priorities? What key reforms might be part of a reconciliation package, and what provisions excluded? How could these changes affect taxpayers, advisers, and business entities? What is Congress’s likely timeline for passing a final bill?
