NEW YORK CITY—The Cushman & Wakefield March 2018 “Tax Reform in High SALT States” report focuses on effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in New York and California. Political leaders from states with high state and local taxes have expressed deep concerns. However, the report concludes the reform overall will reduce taxes even in those states. States with already low taxes such as Florida and Texas will get even more of a tax break.
