For years, Dodik has used his official position to accumulate personal wealth through companies linked to himself and his son, U.S.-designated Igor Dodik.
Dodik and his family continue to rely on trusted associates to obfuscate their involvement in new business ventures, enriching themselves and their cronies while trying to circumvent U.S. sanctions.

Treasury estimates that 100 of the largest and most profitable companies will pay this tax. These companies would have otherwise paid an average effective federal tax rate of 2.6%.

NEW from the Treasury policy team: The Case for Attacking the Tax Gap.
home.treasury.gov/news/featured-…

The “tax gap”— the difference between taxes that are owed and collected — totals about $600 billion annually and is a major source of inequity.
A thread/
Today’s tax code operates by 2 sets of rules:
One for regular wage & salary workers who report virtually all income they earn,
another for the wealthy who often avoid a large share of owed taxes.
Academic estimates suggest +$160B lost/yr from taxes the top 1% choose not to pay.
Why does misreporting rise w/ income?
In part, higher-income taxpayers have ability to use highly-paid experts to shield income from its true tax liability.
But also because of the info that the IRS has access to...

NEW: The first monthly payment of the expanded and newly-advanceable Child Tax Credit (CTC) from the American Rescue Plan will be made on July 15.
Roughly 39 million households—covering 88% of children in the US—are slated to begin receiving monthly payments automatically.
The ARP increased the max Child Tax Credit in 2021 to $3,600 for children under the age of 6 and to $3,000 per child for children between ages 6 and 17.
ARP is projected to lift more than 5 million children out of poverty this year, cutting child poverty by more than half!
Payments will be made on the 15th of each month, unless the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, allowing families who receive the credit by direct deposit to plan their budgets around receipt of the benefit.

SIPPRA recipient NYSERDA will provide #EnergyEfficiency job training for NYers who are:

✔ Long-term unemployed

--Updates on the rollout of the American Rescue Plan--

A thread:
ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENTS
As of yesterday, approximately 90 million Economic Impact Payments had been disbursed (see our other thread for more details).

Unlike the prior rounds of relief payments, the American Rescue Plan requires a 2021 “true-up” additional payment...
When applicable, based on information (such as a recently filed 2020 tax return) that the IRS receives mid-year during 2021, the "true-up" can make sure families receive greater assistance during 2021, rather than having to wait until 2022 and filing a Rebate tax credit.
