01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

This bill rewrites several international tax rules to reduce incentives for shifting profits and operations offshore. It replaces the GILTI regime language with a current-year “net CFC tested income” inclusion, applies foreign tax credit limitations on a country-by-country basis, and tightens rules on interest deductions, inversions, and U.S.-managed foreign corporations.

Why people may split

Liberals focus on tax fairness and closing loopholes; conservatives stress competitiveness and burdens.

Watch point

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a substantive tax-policy statute that is highly specific in statutory mechanics and well integrated with existing Internal Revenue Code provisions.

This bill rewrites several international tax rules to reduce incentives for shifting profits and operations offshore.

It replaces the GILTI regime language with a current-year “net CFC tested income” inclusion, applies foreign tax credit limitations on a country-by-country basis, and tightens rules on interest deductions, inversions, and U.S.-managed foreign corporations.

It also repeals the reduced-rate deduction for FDII, increases the deemed-paid foreign tax credit, eliminates FTC carrybacks, and treats certain oil-related foreign income as Subpart F income.
