This bill would reduce certain U.S. income tax rates for qualified residents and businesses from Taiwan. The goal is to prevent them from being taxed twice on the same income by both the U.S. and Taiwan. It also sets up a process for the U.S. to negotiate a broader tax agreement with Taiwan, but only if Taiwan offers similar benefits to U.S. persons.
