U.S. Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-Tyler) has introduced legislation to deny federal tax incentives to companies that use technology controlled by foreign adversaries. The Deterring Adversarial Access to Americans’ Data Act would amend the Internal Revenue Code to extend ‘Foreign Entity of Concern’ restrictions to major business tax incentives. The bill would require companies to sever ties with foreign adversary-controlled technology to remain eligible for provisions such as bonus depreciation, research and development expenses, research tax credits and interest deductibility. However, Cameron Ray, chair of the Gregg County Democratic Party, questioned whether the legislation is necessary, noting the IRS statute already in place.
