Quick Glance: Supreme Court Could Trigger Billions in Corporate Tax Cuts with a Single Decision
  • A new report warns of significant tax gifts for corporations and a potential $340 billion deficit in the federal budget due to an upcoming SCOTUS case in December.

  • According to estimates, nearly 400 multinational corporations could collectively receive over $270 billion in tax relief if the conservative-dominated U.S. Supreme Court rules in favor of the plaintiffs in Moore v. United States.

  • The Roosevelt Institute and ITEP also discovered that Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito own shares in 19 companies that could receive a total of $30 billion in tax breaks if the judges invalidate the 2017 law's mandatory repatriation tax.

  • The case has implications beyond the repatriation tax, potentially allowing the Supreme Court to become a major tax policymaker and creating uncertainty about the ability to tax large corporations and the wealthy.
