AAFA 2017 Border Adjustment Tax Survey

In an effort to better understand what the Border Adjustment Tax (BAT) may mean for the industry, we are asking AAFA members to fill out this brief survey. As a reminder, the BAT concept relates to a proposed change in the way corporate taxes are assessed:

The proposal – as part of a larger package of corporate tax reform that includes, among other things, a reduction in tax rates – would deny the deductibility of costs of goods sold (COGS) when that COGS is associated with imports.
The Better Way proposal states, “products, services and intangibles that are imported into the United States will be subject to U.S. tax regardless of where they are produced.”
It would also exempt export revenue and revenue associated with foreign licensing from income tax.
This should not be confused with the frequent references to “Border Taxes” (i.e., tariffs) that President Trump has included in tweets in the past few months.
