This webinar will discuss the sourcing rules under IRC Section 861 and provide examples of applying these to income classes, allocating and apportioning expenses, and determining the availability of the foreign tax credit. Our panel of foreign tax veterans will provide scenarios that walk international tax practitioners through these complex calculations.

Description

Section 861(a) governs sourcing of gross income within and outside the United States. Not only does sourcing affect the U.S. federal income consequences for foreigners, it is also used to calculate the availability of the foreign tax credit. The type of income, whether interest, dividends, rents, proceeds from the disposition of real property, etc., influences the tax consequences.

Section 861(b) defines how taxable income is determined by allocating and apportioning expenses, losses, and other deductions to various classes of gross income. The resulting income is used to calculate the foreign tax credit limitation and CFC Subpart F-tested income. The steps for allocating and apportioning interest, research and development expenses, income tax, and stewardship expenses are complicated but must be understood by international tax professionals.

Listen as our panel of international tax experts dives into the complexities of IRC Section 861 and its application to sourcing U.S. income.
