What This Bill Does
This bill changes how the federal government taxes income from U.S. possessions. It modifies tax rules so that certain types of income only count as coming from U.S. possessions if the income comes from a business office or fixed workplace actually located within the United States.
Who It Affects
People and businesses that earn income in U.S. possessions and claim tax benefits based on where that income comes from.
Key Provisions
• The bill modifies how the government determines where certain income originates by requiring that income only qualifies for possession-based tax treatment if it comes from an office or fixed place of business within the United States (using specific tax rules already in the Internal Revenue Code). (Sec. 2(a))
• The bill updates the tax rules for income from selling personal property (items that are not land or buildings) to include a reference to section 932 of the tax code. (Sec. 2(b))
What Changes
If this bill becomes law, people and businesses earning income in U.S. possessions will need to show their income comes from an actual business location within the United States to receive certain tax benefits. The rules for taxing personal property sales will also be updated to include section 932.
Important Definitions
