The Senate Finance Committee released five reports from its tax reform working groups this week that offer recommendations for international and business tax reform.

The working groups did not reach a consensus on specific tax legislation, but their reports do offer insight on the direction and timing of important tax issues, such as tax reform and the expired tax provisions. In addition, the report from the working group on business income offered extensive discussion on how Grant Thornton LLP's Business Equivalency Rate proposal is an option for lowering rates on pass-throughs.
