AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a federal tax on companies that earn money from hosting digital ads in the United States, such as banner ads, search ads, and sponsored results. Companies with at least $2.5 billion in such receipts in the prior year would pay a tax equal to 50 percent of the amount above $2.5 billion, starting with tax years after 2025. The tax money would be split equally among three new trust funds: one held for possible future local journalism tax credits, one for grants to states for one-on-one tutoring in Title I schools, and one for career and technical education. The bill also directs the Treasury to write rules, including a penalty for ad-hosting companies that promote VPN services to avoid the tax.
