Statement of Charter Communications Regarding the Introduction of Pro-Investment Tax Bill

“We applaud Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Reps. Adrian Smith (R-NE), Joe Morelle (D-NY), Kevin Hern (R-OK), and Brad Schneider (D-IL) for introducing legislation that would restore the pro-investment Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) standard for interest deductibility in the tax code. The American Investment in Mainstreet Manufacturing Act recognizes that job-generating capital investments—like the expansion of broadband networks to rural communities—require a return to the strong, well-established EBITDA standard that makes financing these long-term investments possible. We look forward to working with Sen. Capito and Reps. Smith, Morelle, Hern, and Schneider to advance this critical legislation.”
