Summary of Bill S 445

Bill 119 s 445, also known as the "Personal Service Income Tax Treatment Act," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to address the tax treatment of personal service income earned in pass-thru entities.

However, it is clear that the goal is to close any loopholes that may exist in the current tax code and ensure that individuals are paying their fair share of taxes on personal service income. Overall, Bill 119 s 445 is focused on addressing potential tax avoidance strategies related to personal service income earned in pass-thru entities and ensuring that individuals are paying the appropriate amount of taxes on this income.
