Het gaat om massa's geld dat terug in de VS zit door de (tijdelijke) tax cut, waarmee bedrijven hun eigen aandelen opkopen, en opdat het geheel in waarde stijgt.
Het geld is terug in de VS, bij de terugkomst van dat geld is er verlaagde belasting op betaald.
Maar het blijft een inkomen voor de overheid, beter dan niets en geld dat overzee blijft zitten.
" They said it wouldn't happen, but it did: The money companies stashed overseas to protect them from high U.S. corporate tax rates is flooding back in, boosting growth, jobs and confidence in the economy. Thank the Trump tax cuts.
All told, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported, some $305.6 billion returned to the U.S. from overseas accounts. That's a $1.2 trillion annual rate, and far more than the $35 billion one year before.
The BEA's analysts explain why this happened: "The large magnitudes (of inward capital flows) ... reflect the repatriation of accumulated earnings by foreign affiliates of U.S. multinational enterprises and their parent companies in the United States in response to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act."
In short, the Trump tax cuts did it.
American companies were commonly estimated to have about $2.6 trillion parked in overseas accounts as of 2017. So in the first three months of 2018 alone, some 12% of that overseas stash came back to the U.S. It's now available here for companies to invest, pay out in dividends and bonuses, hire new workers, purchase new plants and equipment, or just buy back stock.
It's a shot in the arm for the U.S. economy.
