Thanks @mindthegaap.bsky.social, @itep.org for kind words about our new @factcoalition.bsky.social report.

And the Oscar for best take on an obscure oil tax break: "This is roughly the equivalent of the IRS letting you count your parking tickets as an income tax payment."

Making multinationals publicly disclose country-by-country reports would boost tax revenues and curb abuse. The UN Framework Convention offers a chance to establish public reporting as a unified standard. @icrict.bsky.social

With the Supreme Court set to hear oral arguments on tariffs today, a reminder that our tax code still gives breaks to companies for moving profits+jobs overseas. If we're serious about ending offshoring, these America-last policies must end.

Great writeup by Bloomberg's @markgongloff.bsky.social
of FACT's new report on U.S. tax subsidies for oil and gas extraction abroad.

"Big Oil hasn’t needed government help turning a profit in a long time... It’s time our tax code, among other things, reflected that."
Oil Subsidies Are Bad. Exporting $7.5 Billion of Them Is Worse.
Giving fossil-fuel companies billions of dollars in tax breaks to pump the oil and gas heating up the planet is a terrible idea, but I guess you could argue it might at least create US jobs — unless y...
