Partner Event – Deloitte: “Tax perspective on the US presidential elections: Introduction of US elections and US tax plans Biden v Trump”

Thursday October 15, 2020, 5pm-6pm CET / 11am-12pm EST

Hosts of this webcast: 

• Bob Stack (Managing Director International Tax and Tax Policy) and Storme Sixeas (Senior Manager International Tax and Tax Policy)
• Imara Welfing (Partner International Tax – US Focus Team)
• Arjan Fundter (Director International Tax – US Focus Team)

The first session will start with a general introduction including the formal and procedural aspects of the election process (e.g. the popular vote v electoral vote) and potential impact thereof to the outcome of the elections. Another topic that will be touched upon during this session, is the current division in the House of Representatives and Senate that can add another layer of complexity to the elections.

The second part of this session will evolve around a high-level discussion of the tax plans of Trump v Biden. In short, president Trump seems to ‘double down’ on the laws and strategies that were enacted since his electoral victory in 2016 whereas challenger Biden has announced several new measures such as a ‘Biden Offshoring Tax Penalty’ and a ‘Made in America Tax Credit’.
