The International Wires Bill
New fee on international wires with tax credit for Alabama
Money transmissions, transaction fee imposed for certain outgoing international wire transfers, income tax credit established to offset transaction fees imposed on taxpayer, reporting of certain suspicious cash transactions required, Securities Commission to enforce
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would add a fee to some overseas wire transfers, but give taxpayers a tax credit to offset the cost.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Consumers could see higher costs when sending money abroad, unless the tax credit fully covers the new fee, so they should watch the bill as it moves.
