        <text><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CEO-Employee Paycheck Fairness Act of 2017 </strong></p> <p>This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to deny a publicly held corporation a tax deduction for the payment of performance-based remuneration in excess of $1 million to any of its current or former&nbsp;officers or directors if such corporation does not meet the pay fairness requirement established by this bill. The pay fairness requirement is satisfied if: (1) the average compensation paid by the&nbsp;employer for all applicable U.S. employees for the taxable year&nbsp;exceeds the inflation and productivity growth adjusted average of such compensation&nbsp;for the preceding taxable year; and (2) the aggregate compensation paid by the employer to or for all applicable employees for the taxable year&nbsp;is not less than the aggregate of such compensation for the preceding taxable year.&nbsp;</p>]]></text>
