                between the value of the property when exported and the 
                value of the property when brought back into the United 
                States after the further manufacture.

        deductions.--In the case of property placed in service after 
        December 31, 2007, and before the first taxable year of the 
        taxpayer beginning after December 31, 2012, the deduction under 
        section 168 with respect to such property which is treated as 
        properly allocable to domestic manufacturing gross receipts of 
        the taxpayer for any taxable year shall be determined without 
        regard to section 168(k)(1).
            ``(5) Treatment of deferred compensation under nonqualified 
        plans.--In the case of compensation paid or incurred by the 
        taxpayer which is deferred under a nonqualified deferred 
        compensation plan (as defined in section 409A(d)(1)), the 
        amount under paragraph (1)(B)(ii) shall be determined as though 
        the deduction for such compensation is allowed for the taxable 
        year in which the services for which such compensation was paid 
        or incurred are performed. This paragraph shall not apply with

Summary: Rebuilding American Manufacturing Act of 2012 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow taxpayers engaged in domestic manufacturing in the United States a tax deduction equal to 43% of the lesser of their domestic manufacturing income or their taxable income for the taxable year (thus effectively reducing their income tax rate from 35% to approximately 20%). Limits the amount of such deduction to 25% of such taxpayer's qualifying domestic investment (defined as the sum of the taxpayer's W-2 wages and certain allowable tax deductions, excluding any amounts not properly allocable to the taxpayer's domestic manufacturing gross receipts).
