Question: what, if anything, has happened in the last 12 hours that might matter to the script of TeoTwawKi / Darkest Interregnum / Demographic-flip / Gold / Silver / Platinum and such, for example Section 899, Israel / Iran, Ukraine / Russia, etc etc ... go go go Super duper. Thank you very much. Should I keep adding silver this day ? Why did you use the adjective 'fictional' with regard to Section 899 ? grantthornton.com << Proposed as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Section 899 would take aim at “unfair foreign taxes,” specifically targeting the undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) from the OECD’s Pillar 2 framework, digital services taxes (DSTs), and diverted profits taxes (DPTs). The provision is designed to increase the U.S. tax burden for investors tied to countries deemed to be engaging in unfair foreign taxation. This represents a significant U.S. shift in international tax policy, designed to protect American economic interests but with potentially far-reaching knock-on effects. The proposed Section 899 introduces a two-pronged regime: one component imposes additional income tax and withholding charges on payments made to persons tied to jurisdictions imposing unfair foreign taxes; the second expands the application of the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT). Specifically, the proposed Section 899 targets: - UTPRs, DSTs, and DPTs explicitly as unfair foreign taxes - Other extraterritorial or discriminatory taxes disproportionately affecting U.S. companies as identified by the Treasury Department - The potential for expansion through periodic Treasury reports identifying additional jurisdictions implementing discriminatory taxes >> Super. Understood. Perfect.
