This makes all US development shops immediately 1/5th as profitable (on the books) as non-US shops. Yes, they catch up after 5 years, if they're still in business. I'm not sure that I'm overstating it but this law change will, I think, effectively eliminate onshore software development as a profitable activity. It's very strange that this hasn't been checked back given the size of the sector. I don't normally believe stories about US government dysfunction - which seems mostly like a dog and pony show - but for something like this not to have been rectified is a bit odd.
