December 7, 2023 | SIAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) released the following statement from vice president of government affairs David Isaacs in response to congressional action last week to advance legislation to resolve double taxation and other tax matters between the U.S. and Taiwan.
“We thank Senate Finance Committee Chair Wyden (D-Ore.) and Ranking Member Crapo (R-Idaho), Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Cardin (D-Md.) and Ranking Member Risch (R-Idaho), and House Ways and Means Committee Chair Smith (R-Mo.) and Ranking Member Neal (D-Mass.) for forging a path to resolve the pressing tax matters between the U.S. and one of its top trading partners.
“The unanimous vote last week by the House Ways and Means Committee to approve this legislation is a welcome step and sends a strong message of support to resolve double taxation between the two jurisdictions and reduce barriers to trade.
“We urge the House and Senate to take up and pass this critical legislation. Doing so will bolster the competitiveness of semiconductor companies in both the U.S. and Taiwan and support the significant investments being made in the U.S. semiconductor industry following the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act. A tax agreement between the U.S. and Taiwan is an essential component to the success of the new law.”

Demystifying the IPC Technical Activities Executive Committee Global
02/28/2024 | Linda Stepanich, IPCYou have an excellent idea for a new standard in the electronics manufacturing industry. How do you turn that idea into a reality? It’s simple: You submit a PIN to the TAEC. Now, what does that even mean? To develop a new standard, you need the help of the IPC Technical Activities Executive Committee (TAEC) Global. Ideas for new IPC standards are submitted via Project Identification Notification (PIN) to TAEC Global, which conducts an initial review. The PIN is then sent to the general TAEC standards development oversight committee for review and approval. Now, how do they review it and who comprises the committee?
