Relating to infrastructure, energy, housing, retirement, and social safety net

The discussion below ultimately resulted in action by the Ways and Means Committee which on September 15, 2021, approved a tax legislative package. Read a KPMG report [PDF 2.3 MB] (203 pages) that provides a summary and analysis of the tax proposals: “Build Back Better Act” tax proposals, as approved by Ways and Means (September 16, 2021)


House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released legislative tax proposals on Friday, September 10. Retirement tax savings proposals also were approved by the Ways and Means Committee on September 9, 2021. KPMG LLP has prepared a report on these proposals.

These proposals are part of a larger legislative effort by the Ways and Means Committee to contribute to the Build Back Better Act moving through the House. This report does not include the tax increase proposals released by the Chairman on Monday, September 13, which will be addressed in a later KPMG summary and analysis.

The proposals summarized in this report are primarily tax incentives and tax benefits for various taxpayers. Those incentives and benefits relate to green energy investment, housing, infrastructure, and various social programs.
