“The world economy is becoming more integrated and more competitive. Ninety-six percent of the world’s consumers live outside the United States. Policymakers must make a concerted effort to ensure American businesses are competitive in the world economy. The tax code must be reformed in a manner that reflects modern economic realities and makes American companies more viable both at home and abroad,” Chairman Hulshof said.
In addition to considering tax policy with Chairman Thomas, the Committee will hear from John Samuels, the Vice President-Senior Counsel for Tax Policy and Planning for General Electric, about the impact of international tax law on consumer prices, international competitiveness, and American jobs.
