John,

How do American corporations dodge an estimated $60 billion a year in taxes?[1] By shifting profits to offshore tax havens.

Now, the Biden administration has secured a major agreement with nearly 140 countries to set a 15% global corporate minimum tax. We just need Congress to act!

Donate today to demand Congress end tax breaks that encourage multinational corporations to shift jobs offshore and profits to tax havens so we can raise critical revenues needed to invest in our future.

Together, if we can get Congress to enact the Build Back Better plan we can unrig our tax code and invest in working families. Check out Frank’s email below, then pitch in today!

Thank you,

John,

Loopholes and perverse incentives in our tax system encourage multinational corporations to ship jobs offshore and to shift profits to tax havens to avoid paying their fair share in taxes here at home.

Now, President Biden has secured a historic agreement with nearly 140 countries to create a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, which will help shut down the use of offshore tax havens.[1] But we still need Congress to pass legislation to ratify this agreement!

As the House and Senate work to finalize the Build Back Better agenda, we are working to make sure it passes implementing legislation to establish this agreement as a floor, not a ceiling. We are also demanding that Congress go beyond this agreement and enact at least a 21% tax rate on the offshore profits of U.S. corporations, as proposed by President Biden. This would bring the rate much closer to the 28% rate Biden proposes for domestic profits. (Our long-range goal is to equalize the tax rates on foreign and domestic profits to create a level playing field for U.S. workers and communities.)

The Trump-GOP tax scam lowered the tax U.S. corporations pay on their foreign profits to just 10.5%, incentivizing corporations to ship jobs offshore and shift profits to tax havens.

Pitch in today to help us make sure Congress passes legislation that ends tax breaks that encourage multinational corporations to shift jobs offshore and profits to tax havens so we can raise critical revenues to invest in our future.

For too long multinational corporations, especially high-tech and prescription drug corporations, have gamed the system through the use of tax havens, robbing taxpayers of untold resources while fattening the profits of rich CEOs and shareholders.

Every tax dollar not raised from multinational corporations is a dollar taken away from President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda, which would make healthcare, childcare, eldercare and housing more affordable; expand Medicare coverage to include dental, hearing and vision care; provide child tax credits that lift 40% of children out of poverty; provide universal pre-K education for toddlers and free public community college for students; fight the climate change imperiling our planet and our global economy; and improve the global competitiveness of the United States as a destination for investment.

Demand Congress discourage multinational corporations from shifting jobs offshore and profits to tax havens―and make them start paying their fair share. Pitch in today!
