The business world has clear victories in a version of the Senate of “Big and Beautiful Bill” by President Trump, but he does not receive everything he wants.
The Senate financial committee 549 pages BluePrint contains significant changes, especially on taxes, funding for Medicaid and clean energy.
A proposal was quickly adopted by the business world: pressure on the side of the Senate to make tax deductions on permanent companies around things such as payments of interest and new capital investments.
But a less popular idea is the survival of the so-called revenge tax which would allow the government to perceive new tasks on foreign nations and their businesses.
This idea was introduced into the version of the house and aroused fears of a reduction in foreign investments. The version published last Monday, PAES, returns the tax but does not eliminate it entirely, as required by business lobbyists.
The specific industries also have a lot of changes in the Senate if they law.
Companies working in clean energy will have more time to adapt to the elimination of credits from the Biden era. Restaurants and concert economy companies have more limited tax reductions for advice and overtime. Health care providers will also have to adapt to even higher cuts to the fiscal structure of the Medicaid supplier – perhaps the most surprising and most important global change in the Senate version.

The version of the Senate also increases the debt ceiling by $ 5 billions, compared to 4 dollars billions in the room version.
The invoice has a clear savings measure: Write the annual deduction for individual and local taxes (salt) from $ 40,000 to $ 10,000.
But this provision is described Even in the official summary of the bill As “the object of continuous negotiations”, with the defenders of the deduction committing to restoring the total credit immediately.
The version of the Senate obtained a rapid wave of republican promises – from tax hawks to defenders of these salt deductions to those who oppose the Medicaid cuts – to vote no if the final version is not modified to their taste.
“We are not seriously approaching our long -term deficit and our long -term debt,” said Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin shortly after the unveiling, reiterating that there remains a no.
The round trips occur a few weeks before the self-imposed deadline of the Republicans to obtain the bill on the president’s office by July 4. The head of the majority of the Senate, John Thune, said that sticking to this calendar means the adoption of the Senate at the end of the coming week.
Ed Mills of Raymond James proposed in a note that “we continue to consider the objective of July 4 as ambitious” – suggesting that the provisions of salt and Medicaid in particular could be in continuous debate in the coming days.
Here is a more in -depth examination of some of the main changes in the business world offered by the Senate:

A key objective for business owners is a series of tax deductions that will restore credits for companies around things such as depreciation of goods, capital investments, construction of new factories, interest costs and research and development costs.
These arrangements were present in the version of the room but only temporarily. Permanence was a key priority of the Senate once they took over, even if it should increase the price.
The bill “fuels the economy by constantly extending the pro-growth critical provisions and introduces new incentives to internal investment, offering American job creators a certainty to stimulate interior economic activity and invest in their workers,” offered the president of the Senate financing committee, Mike Crapo, when he has unveiled these provisions.

The version of the Senate also improves credits for “opportunity areas”, which provide tax relief in rural and distress communities.
The bill also includes Trump’s campaign promises without taxes on advice and overtime, but in a more limited form.
Employees could deduct up to $ 25,000 a year for advice and overtime, unlike the 100% deductibility chamber approaching in certain income limits.
The Senate plan also includes a decline in clean energy credits for things like solar panels and electric vehicles.
The changes in the Senate would make this elimination slower – to zero certain key credits by 2028 – but with a net result that the Republicans through the spectrum are united to completely eliminate these advantages.
Amy Hanauer, executive director of the Left Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, reacted to the published proposal by saying that “the emerging clean energy economy will be reduced and for what?”
“Our communities will be more badly subjected to this legislation,” she added.
As for fossil fuels, the Senate bill continues to include changes to make permits less laborious, open new lease sales and reverse costs on excess methane emissions.
The Senate bill also includes a controversial plan to limit the ability of states to regulate artificial intelligence.
The provisions of the Senate are less waterproof, which does not stop at the outright ban proposed by the Chamber, but should remain a discord and potentially a question for the Senate parliamentarian, taking into account the complex rules of reconciliation of the Senate.
Other changes in the bill seem to reduce commercial interests at least slightly.
The Senate bill makes permanent the so -called transmission deduction – officially called the 199a deduction for small businesses – but at the current rate of 20%.
The version of the house also had a permanence, but at a higher rate of 23%.
This idea would allow a president to punish businesses and countries if they adhere to foreign laws that political decision -makers find reprehensible. In the case of Trump, things such as digital services that often strike technological companies abroad.
The version of the Senate, in the blink of an eye to the burst of concerns, set a maximum rate of 15% and delayed from the implementation until 2027 but maintained the intact concept.
In addition to this tax, the changes in salt and medicaid are likely to be the most highlighted in the days and weeks to come.
Tobin Marcus de Wolfe Research noted Tuesday morning that “salt changes highlight the reality that it is another step forward in negotiations, not the final response”.
He added that “we still consider the end of July as the real deadline”.
