3.5% tax on takeout from USA

It doesn’t (the initial version did, but then wouldn’t have impacted non US residents).

The version that passed is:

  • 1% (instead of 3%+ in the initial House version)
  • only applies to physical instruments (not wires like the initial version)
  • people with right to work can claim it back in their taxes

There’s a lot of ways to go around it (esp. with a pro crypto government)
