Americans for Limited Government Issues Statement on Tax Equity

FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 15 -- Americans for Limited Government issued the following statement by President Rick Manning urging the House Rules Committee to adopt an amendment by Rep. Ted Budd, R-N.C., that would prevent tax avoidance through reinsurance by foreign insurers:

"One way foreign insurance companies have avoided paying taxes in the U.S. is through a legal tax dodge called affiliate reinsurance whereby profits are transferred to a tax haven, and then reinsurance is purchased from the affiliate.

"Fortunately, Congressman Ted Budd has submitted an amendment to the House Rules Committee that will restore tax equity between domestic and foreign insurers.

"We urge the committee to add this needed provision to the tax bill and close this loophole once and for all."
