OBBBA International Tax Reform: Implementing NCTI, FDDEI, and Section 951B

About the Course

Introduction

This CPE webinar will analyze the foreign tax provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), now in effect for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2025, and its practical implications for multinational businesses and their advisers. Our panel of veteran international tax practitioners will analyze the latest developments, implementation challenges, and planning opportunities arising from the transition to the new international tax framework.

Description

The OBBBA permanently reshaped the taxation of foreign earnings. Now that taxpayers are preparing returns under the post-OBBBA regime, attention has shifted from understanding the legislation to implementing it. Key international provisions are taking effect, requiring taxpayers to evaluate the impact of Net CFC Tested Income (NCTI), Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income (FDDEI), revised foreign tax credit rules, and new compliance obligations for foreign-controlled structures.

The OBBBA also permanently extended several key international provisions and introduced new IRC Section 951B governing foreign-controlled foreign corporations (FCFCs). Taxpayers and advisers continue to analyze how restored Section 958(b)(4) rules, new FCFC provisions, and Section 951B interact with Subpart F inclusions, ownership structures, and reporting obligations. As additional guidance emerges, businesses must evaluate whether existing structures continue to achieve intended tax outcomes and whether new planning opportunities have become available.

Listen as our panel of respected international tax professionals discusses the implementation of the OBBBA's international tax provisions, reviews the current state of these international provisions and the guidance issued since enactment, and offers practical guidance for navigating the new cross-border tax landscape.
