While House Democrats are willing to consider softening their tax-hike plans, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden and the Treasury Department are more“There’s going to be a lot of political discussions surrounding just how high folks are willing to go on the minimum rate,” said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Democrats could end up raising more money by toughening GILTI, along with two related provisions known as BEAT and FDII, than they do through their plan to increase the corporate tax rate. While the OECD plan would impose a 15 percent minimum tax, the administration wants to increase the American version of that levy to 21 percent — a 40 percent difference.
Policymakers hope other countries will begin putting their taxes in place by 2023, though some experts say that’s unlikely. But if Democrats pare back their tax-hike plans to look more like what the OECD is considering, that wouldn’t raise nearly as much money, potentially blowing a hole in their spending plans.

Afghanistan's top high school graduate fears for her futureSalgy Baran got the highest score in all of Afghanistan on her university entrance exams this year, but she has no answers for what comes next. The 18-year-old wants to stay and become a doctor, but as with so many other Afghans, those plans were plunged into doubt when the Taliban rolled into the capital of Kabul earlier this month, capping their stunning takeover of the country.
