States that have adopted entity-level taxes as SALT workarounds: Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Wisconsinhttps://twitter.com/JaredWalczak/status/1325930436309225473 …

There have always been ways that states could twist their own tax codes into pretzels to help some subset of their residents with federal tax avoidance, and that's not historically how most states have approached things. The SALT cap became a political football, but still.

States shouldn't rush to take the IRS up on this, though. It's difficult to justify this special treatment available only to passthrough business owners and investors, it greatly complicates tax codes, it can make a mess of multistate returns and ownership structures, etc.

The results of tax-related ballot measures are also remarkably largely by how mundane they were. You could imagine getting to the same results in 2014. For as crazy as the national elections were, state-level politics just churned on as usual.

Going into Election Day, New Hampshire wasn't expected to flip to the Republicans, and Democrats has their sights on flipping chambers in Arizona (both), North Carolina (both, esp. Senate), and Minnesota (Senate), and maybe others. It didn't materialize.

With legislative elections in 44 states and gubernatorial races in 11, it's remarkable how little changed. Counts continue, but this is it thus far on partisan change: AK: House coalition dissolves, flips R MT: Governorship flips R NH: both chambers flip to Rs (all trifectas)

The big questions: 1. Do you adjust your CIT policy or other tax tools to balance out revenue losses/gains from Pillar 1? OR 2. Do you take a net revenue increase/decrease in stride?

I've been thinking about this chart from
@thesailaway_CPH et al's#DBCFT paper. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41308-020-00122-4 …) We know Pillar 1 is going to cause some countries to lose revenue and others to gain, so something to be thinking about is how jurisdictions might choose offsetting policiespic.twitter.com/I3Rx23sFf7
