On December 18th, the President signed into law the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (the “PATH Act”), as well as the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (the “Appropriations Act”).
 
The Appropriations Act’s key provisions relate to the “Cadillac Tax” on high cost employer coverage, extending the application of that tax until tax years beginning in 2020, and also changing the law to permit the deduction of the tax. The Appropriations Act also addresses/extends certain tax breaks associated with wind and solar energy activities and expenditures.

The PATH Act primarily addresses what have become known as “extenders,” which are certain taxpayer-beneficial provisions that have consistently been enacted for short periods of time, and then extended.  The PATH Act differs from prior extenders legislation, in that it makes certain provisions permanent (in the sense that they are not set to expire on a certain date).  The following is a brief overview of the PATH Act provisions with more pervasive impact and relevance.

Sue Maslow, a partner of the firm, was awarded the 2015 Barbara Howard Master Volunteer Award at the annual luncheon meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce on December 15th.  The award is given to board members who continually develop various committee programs with diligence and creativity.  Ms. Maslow has filled several roles with the Chamber since 2008, including as a board member and in a leadership role in the Bucks Fever FilmFest Committee.
