Glad to see our @FACTCoalition research cited in this update on the blockbuster tax cases against big multinationals, still moving despite IRS cuts.
Simple math: "America's government debt continues to soar. Its multinationals may soon have to foot a bigger share of the bill."
Companies from Coca-Cola to Meta are in its sights economist.com/business/2026/…

My take on ultra-low US corporate taxes for @rooseveltinst
Comments welcome!
NEW: Corporate profits are at an all-time high. So why are we still told we can’t afford to tax corporations more?
@ZorkaMilin takes on the main argument for keeping corporate taxes low: that doing so is necessary for US competitiveness.
The evidence tells a different story 🧵

The current corporate tax code that encourages offshore tax avoidance isn't "America-first," it's "Corporations-first, Americans-last"

Grateful to @NDAAJustice and law enforcement leaders nationwide for their continued support of the Corporate Transparency Act — a critical tool to expose illicit networks, protect our financial system, and strengthen public safety in communities across the country. @FACTCoalition
We oppose legislation scheduled for markup in the US House Financial Services Committee that would repeal the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Read more in our letter: ow.ly/yRos50YNboS

Tax Day op-ed by Jeff Bezos-owned WaPo parrots a familiar line we've heard from tax-dodging companies: "we're just following the law."
What they don't tell you: all too often, they ghostwrite the tax law.
Memo to @wapo: less tax punditry and more smart tax reporting, please!

Big American corporations are reaping billions in tax savings from tax havens. But don't blame the tax havens: blame the US tax code for being too weak to stop this.

New #tax disclosure requirements are reaffirming what FACT has long argued: that the U.S. tax code continues to encourage America’s largest companies to stash profits in tax havens.

"American taxpayers are effectively subsidizing oil drilling abroad, including in authoritarian regimes.... This isn't just bad tax policy; it's a raw deal for working families who are picking up the slack at home." @Ianpgary
Major U.S.-based oil and gas companies such as ExxonMobil, Chevron and Conoco Phillips are paying billions of dollars more in taxes in other countries than in the U.S., according to a new report from the @FACTCoalition. bit.ly/48MF8X4 #tax #taxbreaks

You still have time to register for the launch of our new report! Our amazing panelists will discuss how to more effectively tax oil and gas profits, and the impact of fossil fuel subsidies on revenues, climate, public health, and more.

“To address climate change, economic equity and fairness, and funding the social programs, we must repeal all the special tax breaks the oil and gas sector receives and ensure that they are paying tax rates commensurate with what they are paying globally.” -@erichpica of @foe_us

“The fossil fuel industry is still being rewarded for driving the climate crisis. We must end fossil fuel tax subsidies, reform international tax rules, & strengthen transparency. Our opponents are powerful — we can’t afford to be divided.” @ZorkaMilin @FACTCoalition

The US tax code not only subsidizes oil and gas here at home, but also - and especially - drilling abroad.

As both a major destination for laundered gold and a central node in global finance, the United States holds powerful tools to disrupt illicit gold networks in the Amazon. Read @JYansura and @IsidoroHazbun's new report to learn more.

ICYMI:
-FACT reacts to Treasury's delayed implementation of a landmark AML rule,
-The Art Market Integrity Act is introduced, and

Before 2025, use of present law baselines provided consistency in counterfactuals. With OBBBA, that is so over.
Here's a reader-beware example of baseline divergence in showing OBBBA's international tax provisions, comparing a @FACTCoalition thing to an article in @taxnotes.1/3
Thomas Georges retweeted
The new tax megabill is "an enormous missed opportunity to enact commonsense, revenue-raising international tax reforms and end tax incentives for offshoring."
