Description
The GILTI provisions and expanded Subpart F rules significantly impact U.S. owners of foreign corporations. Tax professionals must recognize implications and potential opportunities for U.S. persons owning foreign corporations under recent IRS guidance and current tax law.
The Subpart F rules require "U.S. shareholders" of CFCs to treat certain income types as taxable in the current year. Section 250 adds a layer of current income inclusion for CFC shareholders on global "intangible income" and provides a deduction that reduces the effective tax rate on the included income.
The repeal of Code Sec. 958(b)(4) forces certain taxpayers to include in gross income amounts under Subpart F and GILTI attributable to foreign corporations that are CFCs, even though they may have limited access to critical items to determine whether such foreign corporations are CFCs and their inclusion amounts.
Rev Proc 2019-40 provides relief to certain U.S. persons who own stock in certain foreign corporations by limiting the inquiries they must make to determine whether certain foreign corporations are CFCs. It also offers particular unrelated minority U.S. shareholders the ability to rely on limited information to calculate Subpart F and GILTI inclusions without detailed financial statement information.
Listen as our authoritative panel of international tax practitioners reviews the Subpart F rules and GILTI provisions and provides a practical guide to determining CFC ownership and reporting obligations for U.S. persons owning foreign corporations.
