  • repeal a provision that excludes foreign oil and gas extraction income from the tested income of a controlled foreign corporation,
  • limit the tax deduction for the interest expenses of a U.S. corporation that is a member of a financial reporting group (i.e., a group that prepares consolidated financial statements according to generally accepted accounting principles or international financial reporting standards),
  • modify the rules for the taxation of inverted corporations (U.S. corporations that acquire foreign companies to reincorporate in a foreign jurisdiction with income tax rates lower than the United States), and
  • treat certain foreign corporations managed and controlled primarily in the United States as domestic corporations for tax purposes.
