What this bill would do

The "No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act" aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 regarding how certain foreign income and corporations are taxed. It seeks to replace "global intangible low-taxed income" with "net CFC tested income" to ensure current year inclusion. The bill implements a country-by-country application for certain tax credits and limitations. It also imposes a limitation on interest deductions for domestic corporations that are part of international financial reporting groups. Additionally, the act modifies rules for inverted corporations and changes how certain foreign corporations managed in the United States are treated.
