Stops companies from deducting business expenses when they move jobs overseas.
The problem
Some U.S. companies reduce their taxes by deducting costs when they outsource jobs to other countries. This may encourage companies to move American jobs abroad.
The proposal
The bill changes tax law to prevent companies from claiming tax deductions for payments made when outsourcing work to other countries.
The impact
U.S. companies would face higher taxes if they outsource jobs. This affects workers, businesses, and government tax revenue.
Companies that outsource would pay more in taxes. This gives the government more money to spend on programs or reduce the deficit.
By making outsourcing more expensive through higher taxes, companies may choose to keep jobs in the United States instead. This could lead to more American jobs and higher wages for workers.
Workers benefit when companies stay domestic because they keep their jobs and can earn stable incomes. Local communities also benefit from keeping businesses in their areas.
If companies cannot outsource, they may have higher costs. They might pass these costs to customers through higher prices for goods and services.
Companies in other countries can outsource freely. U.S. companies facing higher taxes might struggle to compete globally, potentially losing customers and market share.
Companies with higher tax burdens may have less money to invest in new equipment, research, or hiring. This could slow economic growth.
Determining what counts as an outsourcing payment could be difficult and lead to disputes between companies and the tax agency.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
