Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
President Joe Biden's corporate tax overhaul, particularly the 15% Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) introduced in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, has impacted major companies like Duke Energy, Whirlpool, KKR & Co, and Blackstone in its first year. Despite the goal to close tax loopholes, the CAMT has faced criticism for its effectiveness. The Treasury Department supports increasing the CAMT rate to 21% and the main corporate tax rate to 28%. Companies have begun disclosing their CAMT liabilities amidst uncertainties and lack of detailed guidelines.
