Description

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) contains changes impacting international transactions, business operations, and investments for both individuals and companies. Tax counsel and advisers must recognize the potential impact of key tax provisions contained in the OBBB on clients with cross-border transactions and operations.

On May 22, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the OBBB. This new bill generally makes some international tax provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent, including the international provisions global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), foreign-derived intangible income (FDII), and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). However, certain modifications and new provisions significantly impact U.S. international tax policy and tax planning.

The OBBB includes material changes to the international tax rules and the Tariff Act of 1930, including, but not limited to, (1) extending Section 250 deduction rates for FDII and GILTI and Section 59A for BEAT; (2) allowing taxpayers to currently deduct domestic research or experimental expenditures; and (3) new Section 899 to impose additional U.S. tax on income earned by non-U.S. persons in jurisdictions that impose discriminatory or extraterritorial taxes.

Listen as our panel discusses new tax law changes impacting international transactions, multinational business operations, including proposed Section 899, FDII, GILTI, BEAT, and other key provisions, as well as provides tax planning strategies to optimize tax benefits and avoid tax pitfalls.
