The Chips Bill is Set To Clear, Episode 23, by Ron Cohen
This week we discuss how Senate Democrats are pursuing a narrower “BBB” without a significant tax title, how the Senate is set to clear pared-down CHIPS bill with tax break for US semiconductor makers and the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) is a refundable tax credit for businesses that retained their employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.
