Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act Advances With 5% Remittance Tax Proposal

Under President Donald Trumps One Big Beautiful Bill Act, foreign remittances sent by nonU.S. nationals, including those with green cards and H1B visa

Under President Donald Trumps One Big Beautiful Bill Act, foreign remittances sent by nonU.S. nationals, including those with green cards and H1B visas, would be subject to a 5% tax.
