What the Taxation/Internal Revenue Code Lobbying Data Shows

Under Senate Lobbying Disclosure Act code TAX, 320 organizations reported federal lobbying activity on Taxation/Internal Revenue Code across the 2023-2024 reporting period, with combined expenditures of $8.7M. That volume of filings places Taxation/Internal Revenue Code among the issues where corporate, trade-association, and advocacy lobbying is actively shaping the legislative and regulatory agenda, with each registrant required to disclose specific bills, agencies contacted, and in-house lobbyists engaged.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS leads all filers on this issue with $1.4M in tracked lobbying expenditures, and the top 10 reporting organizations — including NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS, COUNCIL FOR CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENT WASTE, AMERICAN GAMING ASSOCIATION — typically account for a disproportionate share of total outlays, a concentration pattern that repeats across most LDA issue codes. Each of these organizations files quarterly LD-2 disclosures naming the lobbyists deployed and the chambers of Congress or executive agencies contacted.

The 320 filers tracked here represent a structured picture of who is paying to be heard on Taxation/Internal Revenue Code — useful context when evaluating hearings, committee markups, and rulemaking on related topics. Because LDA filings are a public-record trailing indicator, spending in the 2023-2024 window reflects priorities that will continue to ripple through the 118th and 119th Congresses before any policy outcomes register in the data.
