Bill overview
This bill, the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act of 2025, aims to address concerns about significant disparities between CEO compensation and worker pay. It proposes increasing the corporate tax rate for companies with a CEO-to-median worker pay ratio exceeding 50 to 1. The increase in the tax rate will be tiered based on how far above 50 to 1 the ratio is, with penalties increasing for higher ratios. The bill also includes provisions to expand reporting requirements and prevent companies from manipulating their pay ratios to avoid the tax increase.
