Republicans Eye $25,000 SALT Cap as Trump’s Tax Cuts Take Shape

Republicans are in the process of drafting a tax bill behind closed doors that includes an increase of the state and local tax deduction to as high as $25,000 for an individual, according to people familiar with the plan.

A sizable increase to the current $10,000 limit on SALT write-offs would represent a major political victory for a crucial group of swing-district House Republicans representing the New York City area and southern California, who have made their votes for a broader tax cut bill contingent upon securing a bigger deduction.
