No Tax Breaks for Radical Corporate Activism Act
- Introduced
- Passed House
- Passed Senate
- To President
- Became Law
Overview
This bill would prohibit companies from deducting as business expenses any costs they reimburse to employees for child gender transition procedures or abortion-related travel, using tax policy to discourage corporate support for these services.
Why it matters: While framed as a tax measure, the bill indirectly affects Christian families by using federal tax law to shape corporate health benefits—reducing employer-funded access to gender transition procedures for minors, which aligns with pro-life and traditional sexuality convictions held by many Christian families.

What this changes
Amends existing law
Law today: Under current federal tax law, businesses can deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses, which may include reimbursing employees for medical procedures and related travel as employee benefits.
If passed: This bill would prevent companies from deducting business expenses when they reimburse employees for costs related to child gender transition procedures or abortion travel, meaning those companies would pay higher federal taxes on those reimbursement amounts.

Should I support this?
Likely helpful for Christian families
