A Helpful Explainer on the Border Adjustment Tax

(Watch Video)
There’s a lot of jargon floating around these days about tax reform, and one of the most commonly misunderstood terms is the border adjustment tax. But peel back some of the misinformation and scare campaigns, and, as this short video by TIME correspondent Haley Sweetland Edwards explains, it’s actually rather simple.
This proposal is one component of the GOP tax blueprint, which, as many American manufacturing CEOs have pointed out, will help level the playing field for our businesses.
As President Trump explained on Tuesday night, “Right now, American companies are taxed at one of the highest rates anywhere in the world. . . . We must create a level playing field for American companies and our workers. We have to do it.”
We agree. That’s why we are determined to enact a pro-growth tax code that brings back jobs from overseas, lowers taxes for hardworking families, and revitalizes the American economy.
