Liberals emphasize territorial fairness; conservatives emphasize avoidance risks
Likely supportive if the change improves tax fairness and economic treatment for residents of U.S. territories.
Would look for protections against creating new corporate tax-avoidance opportunities and for measures that preserve local revenue and civil rights implications.
Viewed as a technical, targeted change worth considering if it simplifies rules and resolves ambiguity.
Support would hinge on fiscal neutrality, clear drafting, and minimal unintended consequences.
Cautiously receptive if it promotes business-friendly clarity and economic activity in territories, but wary of revenue loss, expanded federal tax complexity, and potential new avoidance pathways.
