👀 I’m Just a Bill — Corporate Minimum Tax + Stock Buyback Excise

A Liana Banyan “I’m Just a Bill” Bounty Poster

What is this bill?

Corporate tax reform in the 119th Congress addressing the IRA-established corporate minimum tax (15% on financial-statement income) and the IRA-established stock buyback excise (1%). Current proposals expand or modify both.

What does it actually do?

• Corporate minimum tax — adjustments to the 15% minimum-tax base and exclusions
• Stock buyback excise — increases from 1% to higher rate; closes loopholes
• Pass-through deductions — phase-out modifications
• R&D capitalization — addresses the 2022 R&D-capitalization-amortization shift that’s affected startup economics

Who votes when?

• House Ways & Means + Senate Finance active consideration

How does this affect cooperative-class families?

The cooperative’s Cost+20% margin structure is structurally distinct from buyback-financed extraction. The cooperative does not have stock to buy back. Federal corporate-tax policy affects the broader economic environment in which cooperative-class members operate.
