Spending: about $85,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2018: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, White House Office, Treasury - Dept of, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Commerce - Dept of (DOC)

Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.
This representation may have ended. No reports have been filed in the past 160 days, though termination paperwork has not been released.

Lobbying Issues
Repeal discriminatory, superfluous, and ultimately ineffectual Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), to include removing sections treating legitimate deductions, allowances, and tax credits as "base erosion benefits." BEAT impairs the ability of US multinational manufacturers, banks, and insurance companies to compete on a level playing field with foreign firms, and is unnecessary because other new international taxes GILTI and FDII, as well as carryover Subpart F provisions and transaction tax regulations, are strong and transparent deterrents of base erosion and abuse.

Paul Suplizio Associates filed a lobbying registration on Jan. 15, 2018 to represent Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Coalition (BEAT Coalition), effective Jan. 8, 2018.
Original Filing: 300923617.xml
Issue(s) they said they’d lobby about: Revise US Code sections 59A, 59B, 4491, 6038 A, C, and E establishing "base erosion anti-abuse tax" to relieve corporations covered by the tax from nullifying the effect of tax credits and deductions enacted by Congress as incentives toward important national goals. An example is the work opportunity tax credit, a hiring incentive for veterans, people with disabilities, welfare recipients, long-term unemployed workers, and others facing significant disadvantages in the labor market. BEAT can offset up to 100 percent of an employer's WOTC credits, causing the employer to withdraw from hiring targeted workers and contributing to a poverty-level, stagnant, underclass. .
