Grassley amendment targets tax credits for terror linked nations
The Senate approved Grassley's amendment to deny tax credits to U.S. firms paying taxes to Libya and other countries accused of promoting terrorism. Five oil companies paid over 2 billion dollars in the prior year, some of which funded terrorism per Grassley. An accompanying Hawkins amendment would repeal tax preferences for firms with subsidiaries in those nations and others lacking US diplomatic recognition.
