Buried in the massive Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1), the tax overhaul legislation the Senate approved on December 2, 2017, is a section providing a tax credit to employers that provide their employees with paid family and medical leave, and a separate section prohibiting deductions for the cost of sexual harassment settlements subject to nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) as a business expense. While it is uncertain if these provisions will survive the conference process to reconcile the Senate bill with the House-passed version, they are worth monitoring as Congress scrambles to send a final bill to the White House.
