US developments: BAT still alive?
EY’s Global Tax Alert highlights the heightened uncertainty around the proposed Business Activity Tax (BAT) by the House and interested parties.
The BAT is a revenue raising proposal, thus the revenues from this plan would help to move a bill towards passage via the political complexities and processes required. It is very important to monitor, as the death of this proposal would mean deriving that lost revenue from another initiative (i.e. raising the tax rate, etc.).
