Executive Summary
US device companies with significant overseas manufacturing facilities are lobbying for a tax amnesty provision that would let them bring their earnings home during a tax window of one year at a markedly reduced tax rate. Customarily, these earnings are reinvested in the country where they have been earned, as to bring them back to the US would incur a significant tax charge.
