As we have previously reported (see here and here), bills to expand the scope of Section 162(m) and/or to narrow or eliminate the exceptions under Section 162(m) have been proposed in recent years, but have not become law.

Recently, a new coalition named “Take On Wall Street” that is comprised of lawmakers (including Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)), union leaders, civil rights groups, and other community groups has announced plans to pursue five initiatives, one of which is to “end [the] tax exemption for huge CEO bonuses.”

Please see our full post on our Tax Talks blog discussing the legislation introduced by both the House and Senate that would amend Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
