Plain-English Summary

The CLOSE Act would restrict or eliminate certain tax benefits and deductions that companies currently use, likely to increase tax revenue or close perceived loopholes in the tax code. The bill would primarily affect businesses and corporations, potentially changing how they calculate their tax obligations. Without more specific details on which provisions it targets, the exact impact on workers, consumers, or specific industries cannot be determined from the title alone.
