NO GOTION Act
Green Energy: Tax Credit Ban for Foreign Adversaries
The NO GOTION Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to the Senate Committee on Finance for review and is not yet scheduled for a vote. The bill is considered active as it waits for the committee to decide on its next steps.
Legislative Progress
This bill was introduced by a member of the minority party and faces a difficult path through a divided Congress.
Key Points
- This bill stops companies from getting federal tax breaks for green energy projects if they are linked to countries the U.S. considers enemies. These countries include China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela.
- A company would lose its tax benefits if a foreign government from one of those countries owns at least 10 percent of it. This also applies if those governments have a say in how the company is run or if they have certain business deals together.
- The goal is to keep American taxpayer money from supporting businesses that are controlled or influenced by unfriendly foreign governments. It targets credits for things like electric vehicles, wind power, and solar energy.
- If passed, these rules would apply to the first full tax year after the bill becomes law. The Treasury Department would be in charge of making sure companies do not find ways to get around these new restrictions.
