AMTAC also supports H.R. 2600, the Border Tax Equity Act, introduced by Congressmen Bill Pascrell (D-NJ), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Mike Michaud (D-ME), and Walter Jones (R-NC) to eliminate the estimated $428 billion disadvantage to U.S. producers and service providers caused by the imposition and rebating of foreign value-added (VAT) taxes.
