The law commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by publicly traded corporations.

Federal law already imposes a tax on buybacks, which is a concrete partial curb on corporate stock repurchases, though it does not prohibit them outright or directly require worker reinvestment.
