What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Hindering Oppressive Nations from Obtaining Revenue Act" or "HONOR Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to deny any foreign tax credit for taxes paid or accrued to the Russian Federation. The rule applies for a specific period starting 30 days after the amendment's enactment. This period ends when certain rates of duty for Russian products resume under a specific previous Act. The changes take effect on the date the Act is enacted.
