This CLE/CPE course will provide tax counsel with a critical analysis of IRS foreign tax credit (FTC) limitations under Section 904. The panel will discuss key provisions of the regulations, additional "buckets" of foreign income grouping, allocation and apportionment rules, limitations under Section 904(b)(4), carryover and carryback rules under Section 904(c), and transition tax implications.

Description

The IRS issued a set of regulations on FTCs outlining the impact of the 2017 tax reform law. The regulations address changes to the FTC rules in determining available credits and the application of GILTI in calculating FTCs. Tax counsel must be aware of the implications to taxpayers.

The most significant changes in the 2017 tax reform law related to the FTC provisions of the Code were modifications to the deemed paid foreign tax provisions under Section 960 and additional income categories and limitation provisions under Section 904. In addition, a discussion on the apportionment of interest expenses, which modifies existing Section 861 principles, was also addressed.

Tax counsel must recognize the urgency of grasping key concepts and applicability of the FTC rules in light of the regulations and implement tax planning techniques to benefit taxpayers.

Listen as our experienced panel provides a critical analysis of the practical implications of the FTC rules and key tax planning and best practices for taxpayers and tax counsel.
