What the document says

“Subsection (a) shall not apply to any remittance transfer for which the funds being transferred are--”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70604

The section provides that the tax does not apply where the funds are drawn from an account at a financial institution described in subparagraphs (A) through (H) of section 5312(a)(2) of title 31, United States Code that is subject to the requirements of subchapter II of chapter 53 of that title, or are funded with a debit card or a credit card issued in the United States. The terms remittance transfer, remittance transfer provider and sender take their meanings from section 919(g) of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and credit card and debit card from section 920(c) of that Act. For the anti-conduit rules in section 7701(l), a remittance transfer is treated as a financing transaction.

What the document actually says

“Subsection (a) shall not apply to any remittance transfer for which the funds being transferred are--”

That sentence, in plain words

The tax does not reach some transfers. Those are ones where the money comes from the two sources below.

What this is about

One is an account at a covered bank. The other is a debit or credit card issued here. Both fall outside the tax.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
