This article sets out the case for repealing the $1 million tax cap on executive pay. In 1993, Congress enacted section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code as an aggressive effort to limit what companies pay their executives. Section 162(m) caps at $1 million the corporate deduction for annual compensation paid to senior managers.

More than two decades on, Section 162(m) has proven a spectacular policy failure.

In a study of 187 boards we undertook with The Miles Group, a consulting and advisory firm, we found that most board evaluations fail to identify and correct poor performance among individual members. Only around half (55%) of companies that conduct board evaluations evaluate individual directors, and only around one-third (36%) believe their company does a very good job of accurately assessing the performance of individual directors.
