This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to deny U.S. taxpayers any foreign tax credit or deduction for taxes paid or accrued to the Russian Federation. The denial applies beginning 30 days after enactment (and ends when normal U.S. tariff treatment of Russian products is resumed under a separate statute).
Legal/treaty risk: centrist and conservative more worried about conflicts
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-targeted substantive amendment to the Internal Revenue Code with clear statutory drafting of the core prohibition, explicit timing rules, and direct integration with existing law.
