Net CFC Tested Income: Planning for Inbound Real Estate Investment

NCTI vs. GILTI, Section 250 Deductions, Attribution Rules, Foreign Tax Credits, Typical Structures

BarbriPdBannerMessage

About the Course

Introduction

This webinar will review the components of net CFC tested income (NCTI) and offer planning strategies incorporating these new rules. Our panel of knowledgeable international tax advisers will explain typical CFC structures and provide applicable case studies.

Description

NCTI is the new regime introduced by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, replacing GILTI (global intangible low-taxed income) for tax years beginning in 2026. A shareholder's ownership of 10% or more of a CFC triggers NCTI. In addition to the new name, the GILTI tax rate will rise from 10.5% to 12.6% under NCTI. The deduction for qualified business asset investment (QBAI) has also been eliminated. 

Strategies exist for U.S. owners of foreign entities to mitigate the tax impact of NCTI. Choosing the appropriate entity structure is a critical determination. Investors and tax advisers may want to consider a simple or leveraged corporate blocker, a domestically controlled REIT, or a direct investment through a trust. Understanding the new NCTI calculations and planning for inbound real investment is key to lowering a real estate investor's tax burden. 

Listen as our panel of seasoned tax professionals compares and contrasts GILTI and NCTI and offers strategies to mitigate tax liability for U.S. shareholders of CFCs.
