The IRS issued proposed regulations under Section 162(m), which disallows a deduction by any publicly held corporation for employee remuneration paid to any covered employee to the extent that the employee's remuneration for the tax year exceeds $1 million. Section 162 (m) was amended in 2017 by the law known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, P.L. 115-97. The amendments changed the definition of covered employees, broadened which publicly held corporations are subject to the law, and eliminated the exception from the $1 million limit for remuneration payable on a commission basis and qualified performance based compensation. The amendments generally apply to tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017, but under a grandfather rule they do not apply to remuneration paid under a written binding contract that was in effect on Nov. 2, 2017, and was not modified in any material respect on or after that date.

The notice also asked for comments on certain issues, which were considered in promulgating the proposed regulations.
