Congress should speak not to remittance fees

The house is “big, beautiful” tax “back travamente and a giant sparklug for growth in all of the Trump Taxes in 2017. It has expanded a $ 4 trillions of health stores and researching businesses, allowing Additional money, and includes school tips, and no overtime pay taxes.

But there are also some bad tax tax changes. One of the worst is 3.5% tax on non-common “remittances” – fees are usually made by foreigners from US institutions to the outside of the United States. Surely, we need to restrict the rules to ensure that the currency saved in the US has not found the hands of criminal syndicates, other poor actors.

A tax on legal transactions is not a solution. This step will only provide multiple financial transactions to the underground.

Taxes can also discourage foreigners from United States investing. And that is not the intention of the economic trumpet’s goal to attract trillions of dollars overseas funds to invest and make jobs here in America.

The payment of these payments is not fairly given that immigrants have already paid for income and taxable tax on this income.

If Congress needs revenue to offset the “Big, beautiful” tax cuts, they could raise more than this unfair tax do by the disposing tax on the near $ 1 trillion of university endowments – a giant stockpile of money that has never been taxed at all. It makes the most significant tax meaning to this endowment currency once than remittance money twice.

Immigrants make many contributions to the US economy while also helping raise the standards of life in developed economies. Those benefits are in a clear national interest in the United States – and both can be dangerous to this found tax scale. The Senate has to put it right away.
