AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Stock Buyback Accountability Act of 2021," would impose a 2% excise tax on the value of any stock repurchased by publicly traded domestic corporations and certain foreign corporations. The tax would not apply in certain cases, such as when the repurchase is part of a corporate reorganization, the repurchased stock is contributed to an employee retirement plan, or the total value of repurchases in a calendar year does not exceed $1 million. The bill also prohibits deductions for the excise tax and authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations to prevent the avoidance of the tax's purpose.
