Excerpt:
The US has peculiarities in its income tax code that create these incentives for companies to avoid repatriation. The last time those peculiarities were lifted was in 2004 when then-President Bush allowed a one-year repatriation tax break. Over $300 billion flowed back into the US. Discussions about repeating that tax break are stymied in the current administration. Estimates are that as much as $1 trillion in repatriation would potentially occur if the Congress and the White House could agree on this issue.
With the election approaching this is one issue on which Trump speaks eloquently.
