IRS. Accountants want to simplify exemption on bonuses

The Order of Certified Accountants is advocating for the removal of salary increase requirements linked to tax exemptions on productivity bonuses in the 2027 State Budget. During a hearing, the OCC president acknowledged the law's intent to boost salaries but highlighted operational challenges due to existing conditions. She proposed eliminating the connection to salary increase obligations and the withholding tax requirement, which she believes undermines the measure's purpose. Additionally, she suggested aligning rental modalities with accessible rental regimes and extending flexibility to all taxpayers. The OCC praised the government's positive stance on reducing bureaucracy but criticized the practical implementation as contradictory.
