RILA’s Tax Committee brings together retail tax leaders to address corporate tax policy, state and federal tax regulations, and global tax challenges impacting retail operations and investment.
RILA’s Tax Committee is composed of tax executives of varying levels that focus on federal legislative and regulatory tax issues impacting leading retailers. In order to provide input, feedback, and leadership on the tax issues of the day, the RILA Tax Committee works with the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Department, and the tax-writing committees of Congress on a routine basis.
Since 2017, RILA has achieved considerable wins in major tax legislation passed under both Democratic and Republican majorities. In previous Congresses, the corporate rate was lowered to 21% and preserved, and the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) was enacted, requiring companies that earned over a billion dollars annually and paid little or no income tax to pay a minimum of 15% in federal taxes.
The Committee is engaged in both tax legislative and regulatory issues of interest to leading retailers.
