This bill would change how the U.S. taxes income earned by American companies in foreign countries, likely shifting toward a "territorial" system where companies pay U.S. taxes only on income made domestically rather than worldwide income. The change would primarily affect large multinational corporations and could influence where they choose to do business and invest, while potentially reducing federal tax revenue or requiring changes to other tax rules to offset the loss.
