Baker Tilly’s Center for the Return of Manufacturing (CFRM) Launches Border Adjustment Tax (BAT) Calculator
CFRM tool helps manufacturers understand various tax reform proposals
for quicker adaptation
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accounting and advisory firm Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (Baker
Tilly) today announced the development of a new tool that is available
through Baker Tilly’s Center for the Return of Manufacturing (CFRM). The
tool is a calculator to help manufacturers determine and plan for the
potential impact of the Congressional GOP plan that includes the much
debated border adjustment tax (BAT).
On June 24, 2016, GOP members of the U.S. House Committee on Ways and
Means released their vision for tax reform. Referred to as the House
Blueprint, the tax model has served as the foundation for the
significant and on-going debate about any potential tax reform.
“CFRM created the BAT tool to give a high-level overview of what tax
reform could mean to manufacturers,” Jim Malczewski, CFRM tax leader,
said. “The calculator will help show the potential federal tax cost or
benefit under the House Blueprint compared to current federal income tax
laws.”
Baker Tilly’s Center for the Return of Manufacturing’s BAT calculator
can be viewed at: bakertilly.com/returnofmanufacturing.
The CFRM asserts that manufacturers need to understand the impact of tax
reform on their company to ensure competitive advantage. “Historically,
it may have been impractical for manufacturers to pay attention to the
tax reform debate before it is enacted, but the 2017 debate looks and
feels different,” Malczewski said.
More details can be seen in the CFRM insight “How
prepared manufacturers can win – with or without a border-adjusted tax.”
Baker Tilly’s CFRM works to play an important role in the future of U.S.
manufacturing by offering tools and hands-on support to manufacturers.
Part of this support includes providing clarification on what tax reform
could mean given the basis of the current House Blueprint.
