What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Unfair Tax Prevention Act," aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It focuses on modifying how the base erosion and anti-abuse tax applies to specific entities. Specifically, it targets "foreign-owned extraterritorial tax regime entities." These are taxpayers controlled by foreign entities that are subject to an extraterritorial tax. The Act changes how these entities are treated for determining applicable taxpayers and how their cost of goods sold is treated regarding base erosion tax benefits.
