Stop Corporate Inversions Act of 2015 Amends the Internal Revenue Code to revise rules for the taxation of inverted corporations (i.e., U.S. corporations that acquire foreign companies to reincorporate in a foreign jurisdiction with income tax rates lower than the United States) to provide that a foreign corporation that acquires the properties of a U.S. corporation or partnership after May 8, 2014, shall be treated as an inverted corporation and thus subject to U.S. taxation if, after such acquisition: (1) it holds more than 50% of the stock of the new entity (expanded affiliated group), or (2) the management or control of the new entity occurs primarily within the United States and the new entity has significant domestic business activities.

NETWORK strongly supports H.R. 902,the Earned Income Tax Credit Improvement and Simplification Act 2015, to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit to include single adults not raising children, the only group of people who are taxed into poverty. NETWORK supports S.1193 to make permanent and expand the temporary minimum credit rate for the low-income housing tax credit program. NETWORK strongly supports S.198 - Stop Corporate Inversions Act of 2015 - which would close the tax loopholes that promote the off-shoring of profits by U.S. corporations. NETWORK strongly supports the Obama Administration's rules to curb inversion transactions that erode the corporate tax base and unfairly place a larger burden on all other taxpayers, including small businesses and hard-working Americans. NETWORK strongly believes that the Social Security Disability Insurance should be fully funded to protect individuals that are receiving this critical benefit. NETWORK believes that wealthy individuals and corporations should pay their fair share of taxes. NETWORK supports the Sensible Estate Tax Act which calls on the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes at the time of death. NETWORK supports the Putting Main Street FIRST Act which would levy a 0.03 percent tax on transactions of stocks, bonds and derivatives to discourage speculative financial trading. NETWORK supports H.R. 2889, the Carried Interest Fairness Act of 2015, that would close the tax loophole which allows wealthy Americans to avoid paying their fair share of taxation. NETWORK supports HR 3970, The Stop Subsidizing Multimillion Dollar Corporate Bonuses Act which would cap the tax deductibility of CEO pay at $1 million. NETWORK strongly supports the Treasury Department's rule on the Treatment of Certain Interests in Corporations as Stock or Indebtedness, also know as the "earning stripping" rule. NETWORK supports efforts by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to improve standards for income tax disclosure by companies to expand transparency regarding foreign tax and earnings.
