Corporations claim that if they just get an enormous tax holiday, they’ll create tons of jobs. They are lying. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. Join TYT: [ Ссылка ]
"It's one of the vague parts of the Republican tax framework: some sort of one-time holiday to get corporations to return untaxed overseas profitsto the US.
Currently, the US seeks to tax the entire worldwide profits of US corporations, but it taxes foreign profits only once they're brought back here. So companies tend to leave foreign profits abroad, which allows them to delay paying taxes, often indefinitely.
In 2004, Republicans implemented a "repatriation holiday" to get companies to bring those profits back. Instead of paying their full tax bill — that is, the 35% US corporate tax minus a credit for whatever taxes they'd already paid to foreign countries on their foreign profits — they were allowed to pay a rate of only about 5%.”*
