According to this article, US Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) introduced legislation to eliminate unfair incentives that allow US companies to use foreign tax credits to shelter profits in offshore tax havens.
These profits results from companies who fire American workers and replace them with workers in the Philippines and India.
“Our tax laws should encourage American companies to keep jobs in America, not send them overseas. But the new tax law didn’t stop worker layoffs in the United States—in fact, it actually created a terrible incentive to move jobs and operations abroad to take advantage of tax havens,” Klobuchar said.
The Removing Incentives for Outsourcing Act will make it harder to ship jobs overseas and require further study on this vital issue. It’s part of our commitment to making sure the tax code actually helps economic growth and working Americans – not just the wealthy and special interests
