The Battle of Salt Deduction breaks out between the Republicans of the Chamber and the Senate

The Republicans of Blue State House sounded the alarm on Monday following information that a hard increase in the tax deduction ceiling of the State and local taxation (SEL) would be nixed by the editors of the GOP Senate in the bill on the order of the mammoth of the agenda of President Donald Trump.

“Consider this the answer to the” negotiation mark “of the Senate: died on arrival,” published representative Mike Lawler, Rn.y., published on X.

The Senate financing committee, which has tax jurisdiction, health care and a litany of other division policy areas in the “Big, Beautiful Bill” by President Donald Trump, is expected to disclose his Mammoth Bill offer later on Tuesday.

The Senate Republicans have not shown much interest in taking into account the needs of the Blue State Republicans cohort, since no member of the GOP Senate represents a blue state. Among the adjustments and future changes in the rewriting of the Senate of the Tax Package, salt is among the first on the list.

Salt deductions were initially capped at $ 10,000 for married declarants and singles in the Trump tax reductions and jobs (TCJA) (TCJA), and GOP legislators in front line districts are responsible for increasing this ceiling in current tax talks.

The conservatives wanted him to stay in place to help pay the tax reductions of the president of the president, but the question has since become a rallying cry for the Republicans of the Chamber in New York and in California, demanding a relief for their voters in areas with high states and local taxes, such as large cities and their surrounding suburbs.

They say that the current ceiling of the Bill of the GOP of the Chamber is not negotiable, and it takes only three votes “no” to the Chamber to kill any bill – the representative Thomas Massie, R -KY., Is already a difficult “no” against the broader bill.

But the Senate financing committee still works on the folds of its bill, and the lowered salt cap is not placed in stone.

A familiar source with the current negotiations told Fox News Digital that the $ 10,000 ceiling was only a reserved space while the talks continue before the full bill. The source added that “people who were indignant jump to the weapon and know that it is still in negotiations”.

Representative Nicole Maliotakis, RN.Y., who represents part of New York and is a member of the Chamber Tax Reduction Committee, the way and means committee, opposed the possible inversion of the Senate.

“The deduction of $ 40,000 to salt has been carefully negotiated with other tax provisions of the House of Representatives, and we all had to give a little to obtain the votes to adopt the major bill. For the Senate to leave the deduction of salt capped at $ 10,000 is not only an intention, but a slap in the face with republican districts which delivered our majority and our trifetakis,” declared to Fox News Digital.

“If we want to be the big tent party, we must recognize that we have members representing blue states with high taxes that subsidize many red districts across the country with voters who benefit from reimbursable tax credits despite the payment of tax zero.”

The increase in the salt ceiling was a major line in the sand for the Republicans of New York Chamber, New Jersey and California, who promised to vote against the package unless the deduction was increased and warned that if a solution was not found, the GOP could lose the house.

Last -minute negotiations leading to the House vote last month increased the ceiling to $ 40,000 for single and married declarants up to $ 500,000 per year.

The deduction would drop for people who report $ 500,000 to a minimum deduction of $ 10,000. The ceiling of the ceiling and income would increase each year by 1% from 2026 to 2033.

Indeed, their support contributed to cringing the massive bill across the Chamber, which advanced by a margin to vote. From now on, the Senate Republicans sprint to complete their molding from the bill to try to recover the entire package across the lower room and on Trump’s desk by July 4.

Salt Caucus co-chair representatives Young Kim, R-Calif., And Andrew Garbarino, Rn.y., told Fox News Digital that the CAP had negotiated “in good faith with the speaker and the White House had to remain in the final bill”.

“He confirms not only President Trump’s commitment to raising the salt ceiling, but was congratulated by middle-class families, firefighters, police, small businesses and workers across the country,” they said in a joint statement. “Instead of undermining the agreement already in place and putting the whole bill in danger, the Senate should work with us to keep our promise of historical tax relief and deliver to our republican program.”
