Alliance for competitive taxation
The Alliance for Competitive Taxation (ACT) is a coalition of 42 major American business corporations officially formed on June 4, 2013.[1] The organization describes itself as "leading American businesses from a broad range of industries that employ millions of Americans and compete in the global marketplace", with a mission to support "comprehensive tax reform that lowers the corporate tax rate to 25% and establishes a modern globally competitive tax system that aligns the United States with the rest of the world."[2] Tax directors from large corporations that comprise ACT have been meeting together for over a year in an effort to increase the momentum for corporate tax reform.[3]
Economic Advisors
ACT appointed two economic advisors to guide the coalition in their economic policies: Laura D'Andrea Tyson, former advisor to President Bill Clinton, and Douglas Holtz-Eakin, current President of the American Action Forum.[4]
