In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a Trump-era tax on overseas investments, in a case involving a Washington state couple. The 7-2 majority ruling preserved the tax, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasizing that the decision was “narrow,” and did not dive into the larger debate over a wealth tax. The case centered around Charles and Kathleen Moore, who challenged a $15,000 tax bill related to their investment in an India-based company. The tax, part of a 2017 package signed by former President Donald Trump, targeted undistributed profits of certain foreign corporations majority-owned by Americans. The court’s…
