The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 108–357 (text) (PDF)) was a federal tax act that repealed the export tax incentive (ETI), which had been declared illegal by the World Trade Organization several times and sparked retaliatory tariffs by the European Union.[1] It also contained numerous tax credits for agricultural and business institutions as well as the repeal of excise taxes on both fuel and alcohol and the creation of tax credits for biofuels.
The bill was introduced by Representative Bill Thomas on June 4, 2004, passed the House June 17, the Senate on July 15, and was signed by President George W. Bush on October 22.[2][3]
Summary of provisions
The Office of Tax Analysis of the United States Department of the Treasury summarized the tax changes as follows:[4]
- created deduction for income from U.S. production activities
- repealed exclusion for extraterritorial income
- changed interest expense allocation rules
A report by the Tax Policy Center identifies the following main provisions and their costs over a period of 10 years:[1]
- repeal of the ETI over a 3 year period including transitional relief; expected to produce $49 billion in revenue
- U.S. production tax breaks of 9% of income from domestic production, with an expected cost of $77 billion
- assorted business tax relief provisions costing $7 billion
- international tax changes for a cost of $43 billion
- miscellaneous revenue generating provisions with a projected gain of $82 billion
- temporarily allowed taxpayer deduction of state and local sales taxes
Another provision revised the definition of the term "covered expatriate" which sets net worth and income tax liability thresholds used to determine if a person who renounces his/her U.S. citizenship must pay an expatriation tax.
