Published: June 8, 2021, 4 p.m.

Doug McHoney (PwC's US International Tax Services (ITS) Leader) holds the second post-vaccine session live at the Westminster Studios with Pat Brown (PwC WNTS Policy Co-leader) to discuss President Biden’s FY 22 Budget and the much anticipated and related explanations of such proposals, also known as the Treasury Green Book. Doug and Pat cover, among other proposals: increasing the US corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%; increasing the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax rate to 21%; removing the qualified business asset investment (QBAI) provision; repealing the deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII); replacing the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) with a Stopping Harmful Inversions and Ending Low-tax Developments (SHIELD) provision; restricting deductions of excessive interest for disproportionate borrowing in the US; the status and likelihood of the OECD’s Pillars One and Two; and what companies should consider as potential tax legislation becomes more likely.
