Title: Business Investment and a Repeal of the Corporate Minimum Tax
Authors: Gary Guenther, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: This report assesses the potential stimulative effect of a repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT). It begins with a description of the structure of the tax and moves on to discuss its importance as a source of federal revenue and which firms pay it. The report then examines what is known about the effect of the CAMT on business investment incentives and concludes with an evaluation of its potential effectiveness as an economic stimulus tool.
