This proposal would make a significant change to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) in order to provide the same U.S. tax treatment for foreign equity investments in listed U.S. REITs that currently exists for foreign equity investments in other publicly-traded U.S. businesses. CLICK HERE to watch the House debate the issue.
