This CLE/CPE course will discuss U.S. tax law anti-hybrid rules and restrictions that may apply where U.S. and foreign tax law provide different characterizations of transaction or entity, including regulations under Section 267A and Section 245A(e).

Description

The 2017 tax reform provided new anti-hybrid rules to address perceived abuse involving hybrid entities and transactions with related foreign parties. In April 2020, the IRS issued final and proposed regulations under sections 245A(e) and 267A. Tax counsel and advisers must navigate the new regulations' nuances and restrictions in international tax planning.

Section 267A denies a deduction for interest and royalties paid by a U.S. taxpayer to a related foreign party in certain situations, including when there is (1) a double-nontaxation outcome, (2) a double deduction outcome, or (3) a deduction/non-inclusion outcome.

Section 245A(e) addresses hybrid dividends received by a U.S. shareholder from a controlled foreign corporation (CFC). When applied, this provision denies a deduction for dividends received, treats similar amounts received by a CFC as subpart F income, and denies any foreign tax credit.

Listen as our panel discusses key provisions of the new regulations, new anti-hybrid restrictions, and key planning techniques for tax counsel and advisers.
