As Congress prepared to vote on President Joe Biden’s $700bn climate, tax and healthcare bill this month, the head of the US tax collection agency sent a letter to lawmakers pleading for its passage.

Charles Rettig, commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, knew that an $80bn funding boost for the agency included in the bill was becoming one of the package’s most controversial measures among Republicans and rallied to its defence.

“We are the greatest country in the world, yet the agency that touches more Americans than any other continually struggles to receive sufficient resources to fulfil its important mission,” said Rettig, who was nominated to the position by former president Donald Trump.
