Stop Corporate Earnings Stripping Act of 2016
This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to limit the tax deduction available to certain foreign-controlled U.S. multinational corporations for excess interest on debt incurred by such corporation (i.e., earnings stripping) by: (1) repealing the debt-to-equity ratio threshold required for such deduction, (2) reducing the permitted net interest expense threshold from 50% to 25% of the corporation's adjusted taxable income, (3) repealing the carryforward of excess amounts of interest, and (4) limiting to five years the carryforward of disallowed interest expense.
