Description

Tracking foreign E&P is essential to determining the taxation of distributions, current and previously taxed E&P, and available foreign tax credits. Although foreign E&P is not defined, IRC Section 964 explains how it is calculated--substantially like a domestic corporation's E&P. The accompanying regulations provide guidelines for the differences between the two.

The regulations outline the three-step approach to calculating E&P:

Step 1. Prepare a local country profit and loss statement for the year from the books of account regularly maintained by the corporation for accounting to its shareholders.

Step 2. Make the accounting adjustments necessary to conform the foreign profit and loss to U.S. GAAP.

Step 3. Make the further adjustments necessary to conform the U.S. GAAP profit and loss to certain U.S. tax accounting standards.

Complicating the three-step process are the foreign currency adjustment requirements, retroactive adjustments from recent tax acts, and separating previously taxed earnings and profits into categories. Applying the regulations and complying with numerous reporting requirements can be overwhelming for international tax practitioners.

Listen as our panel of international tax experts guides you through calculating and reporting foreign E&P for CFCs.
