Obama administration creating a gross revenue cap for S Corporations

The Obama administration announced a working plan to cap the gross receipts of an S Corporation at $50 million.  This is important, because an S Corp is a so-called pass through entity, meaning the entity does not pay any tax.  Under this proposal if a business generates over $50 million in revenue, it would have to be a C Corporation, meaning it would pay tax.

This is likely to be a key component in any tax reform for the US's corporate tax system which does not cost the US Government a significant amount of tax revenue.
