Senate Tax Plan Eases House’s PTET Limits on Accountants, Departing from House Bill on SALT
The Senate’s version of One Big Beautiful Bill Act has a $10,000 SALT cap as placeholder, contrasting the House’s $40,000 cap with income phaseouts. Republicans prioritize permanent policy, supporting tighter SALT limits. PwC’s Rohit Kumar calls the $10K figure an “opening bid,” while EY’s Ray Beeman warns the Senate on losing revenue when PTET cap increases.
The Senate draft broadens PTET SALT deduction access by removing the House's exclusion of specified service trades or businesses (SSTBs) like accountants, lawyers. A cap of either $50,000 or half total deduction whichever is greater, remains established. While the Senate favors SSTBs more, AICPA sees tax increases for pass-throughs compared to corporations. Final decisions on SALT and PTET provisions remain in flux as negotiations continue to arise.

Can a single accounting envelope mistake really upstage the entire Oscar awarding?
While handing out the correct envelopes, PwC partner Brian Cullinan got distracted snapping a photo with Emma Stone, accidentally giving presenters the Best Actress card instead of Best Picture.
The result? La La Land got wrongly announced for the prize, and the real victor, Moonlight, only got their spotlight after some chaotic onstage correction. PwC owned the blunder, however, the damage was already done.
So, the next time you're checking a financial statement, remember—never underestimate the power of one distracted accountant. Hollywood drama, meet accounting protocol.
