and Sales & Use Tax Monitor
State legislatures and courts have forced the once-lucrative intangible holding company (IHC) and passive investment company (PIC) tax strategies practically out of existence. Many states now declare income tax nexus on companies leasing intangible assets like trademarks from related entities.
However, new possibilities arose in the wake of those outlawed tax-planning strategies. Just a few examples for corporate parents are charging related entities service fees rather than royalties, creating embedded royalty or procurement companies, and selling intangible assets under Sect. 197.
Staying abreast of the evolving opportunities to succeed IHC and PIC structures is imperative for tax professionals and counsel to take advantage of their substantial savings potential.
Listen and participate from your telephone as our panel of veteran tax advisors updates you on evolving tax planning strategies and practices you should consider now.
The panel includes:
Peter Stathopoulos, Managing Director, State and Local Tax Group, Bennett Thrasher, Atlanta. He previously was a State Tax Partner for the McGuire Woods Law Firm, led the SALT practice for Morris Manning & Martin, and was a Principal Consultant in the SALT practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Nicholas Nesi, Tax Partner, BDO Seidman, New York.
Kenneth Zemsky, State Tax Partner, Ernst & Young, New York. He is a frequent lecturer and author on state tax matters. He has represented clients before New York state and city tax tribunals.
The panel will give you the background you need to make sound decisions in these and other key areas:
- Evaluate whether your company has a good case to challenge a state's addback.
- Study potential tax savings from reorganizing your corporate group along functional lines.
- Gain a better understanding of the pros and cons of tax strategies such as embedded royalties, unraveled PICs and procurement companies.
Following the speaker presentations, you’ll have an opportunity to get answers to your specific questions during the interactive Q&A.
