The tax bill which is going through Congress has below provision as of now is shown below; interestingly its effective date is sooner than other changes that are to take effect if passed:
SEC. 13307. Denial of deduction for settlements subject to nondisclosure agreements paid in connection with sexual harassment or sexual abuse.
(a) Denial of deduction.—Section 162 is amended by redesignating subsection (q) as subsection (r) and by inserting after subsection (p) the following new subsection:
“(q) Payments related to sexual harassment and sexual abuse.—No deduction shall be allowed under this chapter for—
“(1) any settlement or payment related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse if such settlement or payment is subject to a nondisclosure agreement, or
“(2) attorney’s fees related to such a settlement or payment.”.
(b) Effective date.—The amendments made by this section shall apply to amounts paid or incurred after the date of the enactment of this Act.
Why are sexual harassment settlements so much more important to society than non sexual harassment settlements? Should they be more important?
Who’s pulling the strings here?
