Description
U.S. tax law provides companies that export products an export tax benefit under the IC-DISC structure. If formed properly, taxpayers can benefit from federal income tax savings.
The repeal of the domestic production activity deduction and the addition of the limitation of interest deduction require tax counsel and advisers to consider all relevant tax rules to determine the overall impact to a company's IC-DISC benefits. After that, tax saving opportunities can be leveraged by export business clients by perfecting the knowledge of the IRC sections, certain implications under current tax law, and reconciling the difference in the application of the benefits of an IC-DISC structure to S corporations or partnerships versus C corporations.
Listen as our experienced panel reviews structuring techniques to maximize the federal tax savings for domestic corporations that primarily engage in foreign sales and exporting activity. The panelists will focus on the IRC sections, formation, benefits, and qualification issues.
