SB289,1,2
1An Act to amend 71.26 (3) (e) 1. of the statutes;
relating to: limiting the
2corporate income tax deduction for compensation paid to an employe.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a corporation may deduct from its income tax the
compensation paid to its officers and employes. The corporate income tax deduction
for compensation paid to executive officers cannot exceed $1,000,000.
This bill further limits any single corporate income tax deduction for
compensation paid to an employe or officer to an amount not to exceed the
compensation paid to a corporation's lowest paid full-time employe multiplied by 25.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
