US tax rules would change for some foreign-owned companies with certain overseas taxes.
This bill would change a US tax rule for some foreign-owned companies. This rule, called the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT), aims to stop large companies from moving profits overseas to avoid US taxes. The bill would make it harder for certain foreign-owned companies, which also pay a special tax in another country, to lower their US tax bill.
Right now, the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) applies to large companies that send a lot of money to foreign partners, following general rules. If this bill becomes law, certain foreign-owned companies that also pay a specific 'extraterritorial tax' in another country would face tougher BEAT rules. They would automatically be subject to BEAT. They would also lose specific tax breaks. Plus, 50 percent of what they spend on goods they sell would count in a way that could increase their tax bill.
