(The Center Square) – Legislation eliminating California’s biggest corporate tax break, the Water’s Edge tax election, could generate an estimated $3 billion to $4 billion in income for the state, according to the bill's author. The bill passed out of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee late Monday afternoon. Assembly Bill 1790, which proposes to eliminate the state’s largest corporate tax break, is aimed to generate much-needed revenue for the state as California faces a $35 billion multi-year structural budget deficit. “For the last 40 years, California has given multi-national corporations the opportunity to choose what tax scheme they would like to use to ensure they pay as little in taxes as they possibly can,” Assemblymember Damon Connolly, D-San Rafael and author of Assembly Bill 1790, testified during the bill hearing on Monday afternoon. The Water’s Edge tax election, Connolly continued, allows such corporations to only pay taxes on revenue determined to have been earned in the “water’s edge” boundary of California. This allows companies to shift income offshore through using subsidiary companies and foreign tax havens, Connolly testified. Eliminating the tax break, Connolly testified, would allow the state to generate money that could pay for schools and health care, among other taxpayer-funded programs and services. “The state is facing a severe multi-year budget deficit,” Connolly testified at the committee meeting. “As legislators, if we do not find a way to generate revenue, we will have to make heartbreaking decisions to cut programs that the most vulnerable Californians rely on.” Arguments in favor of the bill’s passage focused on multi-national corporations’ ability to take revenues out of California and move that money offshore to avoid paying taxes, according to testimony in support of Connolly’s bill. “Much of the income made by multi-national corporations is based on intellectual property,” Lenny Goldberg of the California Tax Reform Association testified. “That intellectual property, developed in the U.S., developed heavily in California, is parked in the Bahamas, in Ireland, in Luxembourg, in tax havens. So really, all we’re talking about here is eliminating the ability of these multi-nationals to manipulate their assets.” However, opponents of the bill on Monday said eliminating the tax break would make California’s tax system unstable and possibly result in the loss of revenue, not the generation of revenue. “Those losses will be coupled with exponentially more complicated agency audits and compliance challenges,” Kelsey Johnson, vice president of state government affairs at Global Business Alliance, testified in opposition to the bill. “Companies would be taxed on the same income in both their home country and in California. In the past, this kind of policy led to international disputes with states. That is why there is a letter co-signed by eight of America’s trading partners urging you not to pass this bill.” The many opponents to the bill include governments of multiple countries. The national governments of Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, Canada, Ukraine and South Korea all oppose Assembly Bill 1790, according to a legislative analysis. Officials with each of those countries’ consulates located in California did not respond to The Center Square on Monday or Tuesday. Republican lawmakers on the committee on Monday were apprehensive about the tax elimination proposal. “We already have the highest tax burden of any state in the country,” Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, R-San Diego, said during the bill hearing. “Instead of tightening the belt and implementing cost efficiencies, there’s a whole lobby of special interest groups always looking to get more money from people as though it’s a free lunch that someone else is going to pay.” The bill now goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee.

(The Center Square) – A years-long effort has resulted in the extradition of a Chinese national facing multiple espionage charges in Houston. Chinese national Xu Zewei was extradited to the U.S. from Italy over the weekend and appeared before a federal judge in Houston on Monday. He faces a nine-count indictment for his role in a People’s Republic of China HAFNIUM computer intrusion campaign targeting U.S. companies, which also compromised thousands of computers worldwide, according to the Office of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas. Zewei was taken into custody in Milan, Italy, last July at the request of U.S. authorities, The Center Square reported. He and PRC national Zhang Yu were both indicted in 2023; Yu remains at large. The two are accused of being involved in a hacking scheme from February 2020 through June 2021 directed by the PRC’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) Shanghai State Security Bureau (SSSB), according to the indictment. The MSS and SSSB are China intelligence services responsible for implementing domestic counterintelligence, non-military foreign intelligence and other operations, investigators found. The pair in early 2020 targeted U.S.-based universities and leading immunologists and virologists to hack into computer systems and steal research they were conducting on COVID-19 vaccines, treatment and testing, and provide it to SSSB officers, according to the charges. This included hacking emails from virologists and immunologists engaged in COVID-19 research at a university in the Southern District of Texas, the charges allege. Zewei also worked for Shanghai Powerock Network Co. Ltd., “one of many ‘enabling’ companies in the PRC that conducted hacking for the PRC government,” the charges allege. “It is notable that the Chinese government directed theft of COVID-19 research” beginning in February 2020 after the outbreak of the virus in mainland China “and at a time when PRC officials were withholding information about the virus and its origin,” former U.S. Attorney Nicholas Ganjei said last year when the indictments were unsealed. “The hacking of these American universities is not just a violation of intellectual property rights, it's an attack on American scientific innovation. The hacking of a U.S. law firm is not just about computer crime. It's about an attack on the American system of justice, which depends on the legal ability of clients to seek and obtain frank and confidential advice from their local counsel.” Acting U.S. Attorney John Marck said Zewei is finally answering “for crimes that struck at the heart of American science and security — allegedly stealing COVID-19 research from our universities when the world needed it most." The FBI Cyber Division said the HAFNIUM campaign compromised more than 12,700 U.S. organizations. The two indicted were a few of many contractors the PRC used “to obscure its hand in cyber operations,” it said. The hacking scheme involved exploiting vulnerabilities in a Microsoft Exchange Server, which is used to send, receive and store emails. In March 2021, Microsoft confirmed its exchange had been targeted by PRC-sponsored hackers; in July 2021, U.S. and foreign governments said the PRC MSS orchestrated HAFNIUM. Zewei was charged on multiple counts of wire fraud, identity theft, obtaining information by unauthorized access to protected computers, among other charges. If convicted, he faces decades in prison. Anyone with information about Yu’s whereabouts is asked to contact the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). An ongoing investigation is being conducted by the FBI’s Houston Field Office.
