Tax Talk: Federal Tax Legislation Impacting Indian Tribes

The Tribal Treasury Advisory Committee also finalized regulations addressing General Welfare Expenditure plans and Section 17 tribal businesses. With bipartisan bills introduced in both chambers, attention now turns to tribal tax exempt bonds and related development provisions. This panel outlines recent progress and strategies for congressional engagement.
