       (a) In General.--Section 7701 is amended by redesignating 
     subsection (n) as subsection (o) and by inserting after 
     subsection (m) the following new subsection:
       ``(n) Clarification of Economic Substance Doctrine; Etc.--
       ``(1) General rules.--
       ``(A) In general.--In applying the economic substance 
     doctrine, the determination of whether a transaction has 
     economic substance shall be made as provided in this 
     paragraph.
       ``(B) Definition of economic substance.--For purposes of 
     subparagraph (A)--
       ``(i) In general.--A transaction has economic substance 
     only if--

       ``(I) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart 
     from Federal tax effects) the taxpayer's economic position, 
     and
       ``(II) the taxpayer has a substantial nontax purpose for 
     entering into such transaction and the transaction is a 
     reasonable means of accomplishing such purpose.

     In applying subclause (II), a purpose of achieving a 
     financial accounting benefit shall not be taken into account 
     in determining whether a transaction has a substantial nontax 
     purpose if the origin of such financial accounting benefit is 
     a reduction of income tax.
       ``(ii) Special rule where taxpayer relies on profit 
     potential.--A transaction shall not be treated as having 
     economic substance by reason of having a potential for profit 
     unless--

       ``(I) the present value of the reasonably expected pre-tax 
     profit from the transaction is substantial in relation to the 
     present value of the expected net tax benefits that would be 
     allowed if the transaction were respected, and
       ``(II) the reasonably expected pre-tax profit from the 
     transaction exceeds a risk-free rate of return.

       ``(C) Treatment of fees and foreign taxes.--Fees and other 
     transaction expenses and foreign taxes shall be taken into 
     account as expenses in determining pre-tax profit under 
     subparagraph (B)(ii).
       ``(2) Special rules for transactions with tax-indifferent 
     parties.--
       ``(A) Special rules for financing transactions.--The form 
     of a transaction which is in substance the borrowing of money 
     or the acquisition of financial capital directly or 
     indirectly from a tax-indifferent party shall not be 
     respected if the present value of the deductions to be 
     claimed with respect to the transaction is substantially in 
     excess of the present value of the anticipated economic 
     returns of the person lending the money or providing the 
     financial capital. A public offering shall be treated as a 
     borrowing, or an acquisition of financial capital, from a 
     tax-indifferent party if it is reasonably expected that at 
     least 50 percent of the offering will be placed with tax-
     indifferent parties.
       ``(B) Artificial income shifting and basis adjustments.--
     The form of a transaction with a tax-indifferent party shall 
     not be respected if--
       ``(i) it results in an allocation of income or gain to the 
     tax-indifferent party in excess of such party's economic 
     income or gain, or
       ``(ii) it results in a basis adjustment or shifting of 
     basis on account of overstating the income or gain of the 
     tax-indifferent party.

     subsection--
       ``(A) Economic substance doctrine.--The term `economic 
     substance doctrine' means the common law doctrine under which 
     tax benefits under subtitle A with respect to a transaction 
     are not allowable if the transaction does not have economic 
     substance or lacks a business purpose.
       ``(B) Tax-indifferent party.--The term `tax-indifferent 
     party' means any person or entity not subject to tax imposed 
     by subtitle A. A person shall be treated as a tax-indifferent 
     party with respect to a transaction if the items taken into 
     account with respect to the transaction have no substantial 
     impact on such person's liability under subtitle A.

     In the case of an individual, this subsection shall apply 
     only to transactions entered into in connection with a trade 
     or business or an activity engaged in for the production of 
     income.
       ``(D) Treatment of lessors.--A lessor of tangible property 
     subject to a lease shall be treated as satisfying the 
     requirements of paragraph (1)(B)(ii) with respect to the 
     leased property if such lease satisfies such requirements as 
     provided by the Secretary.

     treated as such a controlled entity on May 8, 2003, if it 
     becomes such an entity after such date in a transaction--
       (A) made pursuant to a written agreement which was binding 
     on such date and at all times thereafter, or
       (B) described on or before such date in a filing with the 
     Securities and Exchange Commission required solely by reason

       ``(a) In General.--If an employer maintains a funded 
     deferred compensation plan--
       ``(1) compensation of any disqualified individual which is 
     deferred under such funded deferred compensation plan shall 
     be included in the gross income of the disqualified 
     individual or beneficiary for the 1st taxable year in which 
     there is no substantial risk of forfeiture of the rights to 
     such compensation, and
       ``(2) the tax treatment of any amount made available under 
     the plan to a disqualified individual or beneficiary shall be 
     determined under section 72 (relating to annuities, etc.).
       ``(b) Funded Deferred Compensation Plan.--For purposes of 
     this section--
       ``(1) In general.--The term `funded deferred compensation 
     plan' means any plan providing for the deferral of 
     compensation unless--
       ``(A) the employee's rights to the compensation deferred 
     under the plan are no greater than the rights of a general 
     creditor of the employer, and
       ``(B) all amounts set aside (directly or indirectly) for 
     purposes of paying the deferred compensation, and all income 
     attributable to such amounts, remain (until made available to 
     the participant or other beneficiary) solely the property of 
     the employer (without being restricted to the provision of 
     benefits under the plan),

     available to satisfy the claims of the employer's general 
     creditors at all times (not merely after bankruptcy or 
     insolvency), and
       ``(D) the investment options which a participant may elect 
     under the plan are the same as the investment options which a 
     participant may elect under the qualified employer plan of 
     the employer which has the fewest investment options.
     Such term shall not include a qualified employer plan.

       ``(A) Employee's rights.--A plan shall be treated as 
     failing to meet the requirements of paragraph (1)(A) unless--
       ``(i) the compensation deferred under the plan is payable 
     only upon separation from service, death, disability (within 
     the meaning of section 1614(a)(3) of the Social Security Act

     to a fixed schedule), and
       ``(ii) the plan does not permit the acceleration of the 
     time such deferred compensation is payable by reason of any 
     event.

     plan that accelerates the time for payment of any deferred 
     compensation, then all compensation previously deferred under 
     the plan shall be includible in gross income for the taxable 
     year during which such modification takes effect and the 
     taxpayer shall pay interest at the underpayment rate on the 
     underpayments that would have occurred had the deferred 
     compensation been includible in gross income on the earliest 
     date that there is no substantial risk of forfeiture of the 
     rights to such compensation.

       ``(ii) assets in the trust are available to satisfy claims 
     of general creditors at all times (not merely after 
     bankruptcy or insolvency), and
       ``(iii) there is no factor that would make it more 
     difficult for general creditors to reach the assets in the 
     trust than it would be if the trust assets were held directly 
     by the employer in the United States.
     Except as provided in regulations prescribed by the 
     Secretary, such a factor shall include the location of the 
     trust outside the United States unless substantially all of 
     the services to which the nonqualified deferred compensation 
     relates are performed outside the United States. Such 
     regulations may exempt any such trust if the trust will not 
     result in an improper deferral of United States tax, and the 
     assets involved in the trust will be readily accessible in 
     any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding.

     section, the term `disqualified individual' means, with

     of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with respect to such

     compensation shall be treated as including references to 
     income attributable to such compensation or such income.''.

     transferred in connection with performance of services) is 
     amending by adding at the end the following new subsection:

     Compensation Arrangements.--If a taxpayer elects to exchange 
     an option to purchase employer securities--
       ``(1) to which subsection (a) applies, or
       ``(2) which is described in subsection (e)(3),

     other provision of this title, there shall be included in 
     gross income for the taxable year of the exchange an amount 
     equal to the present value of such right (or such other 
     amount as the Secretary may by regulations specify). For 
     purposes of this subsection, the term `employer securities' 
     has the meaning given such term by section 409(l).''.

     paragraph, would be includible in the gross income of any

     imposed by reason of this section.

     SEC. 529. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON REPEALING THE 1993 TAX HIKE 
                   ON SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS SECTION.

       (a) Findings.--(1) The 1993 tax on social security benefits 
     was imposed as part of President Clinton's agenda to raise 
     taxes.
       (2) The original 1993 tax hike on social security benefits 
     was to raise income taxes on social security retirees with as 
     little as $25,000 of income.
       (3) Repeated efforts to repeal the 1993 tax hike on social 
     security benefits have failed.
       (4) Seniors rely on social security benefits as well as 
     dividend income to fund their retirement and they should have 
     taxes reduced on both sources of income.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Senate Finance Committee should report out the 
     Social Security Benefits Tax Relief Act of 2003, S. 514, to 
     repeal the tax on seniors not later than July 31, 2003, and 
     the Senate shall consider such bill not later than September 
     30, 2003, in a manner consistent with the preservation of the 
     Medicare Trust Fund.

     SEC. 530. FLAT TAX.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The current Internal Revenue Code, with its myriad 
     deductions, credits and schedules, and over 17,000 pages of 
     rules and regulations, is long overdue for an overhaul.
       (2) The current Internal Revenue Code has over 
     6,900,000,000 words compared to the bible at 1,773,000 words, 
     the Declaration of Independence at 1,300 words, The 
     Gettysburg Address at 267 words, and the Pledge of Allegiance 
     at only 31 words.
       (3) It is an unacceptable waste of our Nation's precious 
     resources when Americans spend more than 5,800,000,000 hours 
     every year compiling information and filling out Internal 
     Revenue Code tax forms. In addition, taxpayers spend 
     $194,000,000,000 each year in tax code compliance. America's 
     resources could be dedicated to far more productive pursuits.
       (4) The primary goal of any tax reform is to promote growth 
     and remove the inefficiencies of the current tax code. The 
     flat tax will expand the economy by an estimated 
     $2,000,000,000,000 over seven years.
       (5) Another important goal of the flat tax is to achieve 
     fairness, with a single low flat tax rate for all individuals 
     and businesses.
       (6) Simplicity is another critically important goal of the 
     flat tax, and it is in the public interest to have a ten-
     lined tax form that fits on a postcard and takes 10 minutes 
     to fill out.
       (7) A comprehensive analyses of our tax structure has 
     concluded that a flat tax of 19 percent could be imposed upon 
     individuals and be revenue neutral.
       (8) If the decision is made to include deductibility on 
     items such as interest on home mortgages and charitable 
     contributions, the flat tax would be raised from a 19 percent 
     to a 20 percent rate to accommodate the deductions and remain 
     revenue neutral.
       (9) The flat tax would tax business at a 20 percent rate on 
     net profits and be revenue neutral and lead to investment 
     decisions being made on the basis of productivity rather than 
     for tax avoidance.

[[Page S6772]]

       (10) The flat tax would lead to the elimination of the 
     capital gains tax. This would become a powerful incentive for 
     savings and investment--which translates into economic growth 
     and expansion, more and better jobs, and raising the standard 
     of living for all Americans.
       (11) The flat tax would lower the cost of capital by 
     allowing businesses to write off the cost of capital purchase 
     in the same year the purchase was made as opposed to 
     complying with complicated depreciation schedules.
       (12) By eliminating the double tax on dividends, the flat 
     tax eliminates the distortions in the tax code favoring debt 
     over equity financing by businesses.
       (13) The flat tax would eliminate the estate and gift tax. 
     With the elimination of the estate and gift tax, family-held 
     businesses will be much more stable under the flat tax 
     system.
       (14) As tax loopholes are eliminated and the tax code is 
     simplified, there will be far less opportunity for tax 
     avoidance and fraud, which now amounts to over 
     $120,000,000,000 in uncollected revenue annually.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Senate Finance Committee and the Joint Economic 
     Committee should undertake a comprehensive analysis of 
     simplification including flat tax proposals, including 
     appropriate hearings and consider legislation providing for a 
     flat tax.

     which are controlled foreign corporations in which the 
     taxpayer is a United States shareholder on the date such 
     dividends are paid.
       ``(3) Fixed base period.--
       ``(A) In general.--The term `fixed base period' means each

       ``(ii) the 1 taxable year for which the taxpayer had the

       ``(B) Shorter period.--If the taxpayer has fewer than 5 
     taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2002, then in 
     lieu of applying subparagraph (A), the fixed base period 
     shall mean such shorter period representing all of the 
     taxable years of the taxpayer ending on or before December 
     31, 2002.
       ``(c) Definitions and Special Rules.--For purposes of this 
     section--

     SEC. 533. LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDIT.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The low-income housing tax credit is the Nation's 
     primary program for producing affordable rental housing.
       (2) Each year, the low-income housing tax credit produces 
     over 115,000 affordable apartments.
       (3) Since Congress created the low-income housing tax 
     credit in 1986, the credit has created 1,500,000 units of 
     affordable housing for about 3,500,000 Americans.
       (4) Analyses have found that certain approaches to reducing 
     or eliminating the taxation of dividends have the potential 
     to reduce the value of the low-income housing tax credit and 
     so reduce the amount of affordable housing available.
       (5) As of 2001, over 7,000,000 American renter families (1 
     in 5) suffer severe housing affordability problems, meaning 
     that the family spends more than half of its income on rent 
     or lives in substandard housing.
       (6) More than 150,000 apartments in the low-cost rental 
     housing inventory are lost each year due to rent increases, 
     abandonment, and deterioration.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that any reduction or elimination of the taxation on 
     dividends should include provisions to preserve the success 
     of the low-income housing tax credit.

     classified within the groups of covered OPD services (as

       (f) Findings.--The Senate finds the following:
       (1) The medicare program has a responsibility to pay enough 
     for beneficial new technologies in order to ensure that 
     medicare beneficiaries have access to care; however, such 
     program must also be a prudent purchaser of health care items 
     and services.
       (2) The 2003 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective 
     Payment System Regulation may have resulted in limiting 
     beneficiary access to care.
       (3) A methodology should be developed under the medicare 
     outpatient prospective payment system under section 1833(t) 
     of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(t)) with 
     appropriate resources and such methodology should be 
     implemented January 1, 2004. This will ensure that all 
     hospitals are appropriately reimbursed for the drugs and 
     biologics that are used in the outpatient setting which in 
     turn will ensure patient access to new technologies.
       (g) Technical Amendment.--Section 1833(t)(2)(B) (42 U.S.C. 
     1395l(t)(2)(B)) is amended by inserting ``(and periodically 
     revise such groups pursuant to paragraph (9)(A))'' after

     follows:
       ``(A) Limited rental exception.--

     other than taxable REIT subsidiaries of such trust and other 
     than persons described in paragraph (2)(B).
       ``(ii) Rents must be substantially comparable.--Clause (i) 
     shall apply only to the extent that the amounts paid to the 
     trust as rents from real property (as defined in paragraph 
     (1) without regard to paragraph (2)(B)) from such property 
     are substantially comparable to such rents paid by the other 
     tenants of the trust's property for comparable space.
       ``(iii) Times for testing rent comparability.--The 
     substantial comparability requirement of clause (ii) shall be 
     treated as met with respect to a lease to a taxable REIT 
     subsidiary of the trust if such requirement is met under the 
     terms of the lease--

       ``(I) at the time such lease is entered into,
       ``(II) at the time of each extension of the lease, 
     including a failure to exercise a right to terminate, and
       ``(III) at the time of any modification of the lease

     subsidiary of the trust is a controlled taxable REIT 
     subsidiary of the trust, the term `rents from real property' 
     shall not in any event include rent under such lease to the 
     extent of the increase in such rent on account of such 
     modification.

     clause (iii), the term `controlled taxable REIT subsidiary' 
     means, with respect to any real estate investment trust, any 
     taxable REIT subsidiary of such trust if such trust owns 
     directly or indirectly--

       ``(I) stock possessing more than 50 percent of the total 
     voting power of the outstanding stock of such subsidiary, or
       ``(II) stock having a value of more than 50 percent of the 
     total value of the outstanding stock of such subsidiary.

       ``(v) Continuing qualification based on third party 
     actions.--If the requirements of clause (i) are met at a time 
     referred to in clause (iii), such requirements shall continue 
     to be treated as met so long as there is no increase in the 
     space leased to any taxable REIT subsidiary of such trust or 
     to any person described in paragraph (2)(B).
       ``(vi) Correction period.--If there is an increase referred 
     to in clause (v) during any calendar quarter with respect to 
     any property, the requirements of clause (iii) shall be 
     treated as met during the quarter and the succeeding quarter
