Revisions to the United States Tax Code in 2017 made vast alterations to the tax landscape for multinational businesses controlled by United States taxpayers. The "Global Intangible Low Taxed Income" (GILTI) provisions of §951A expanded anti-deferral efforts by the United States, creating immediate inclusions for most types of income earned by controlled foreign corporations. The blow of this inclusion was softened by the simultaneous creation of §250 which permits a 50% reduction in tax rate for domestic corporate United States shareholders. Non-corporate shareholders are taxed on GILTI at ordinary income rates as high as 37%. Also created by §250 is a 37.5% tax reduction for domestic corporations earning "Foreign Derived Intangible Income" (FDII), making the tax rate on this income 13.125%. However, decisions in how to structure multinational operations are not as simple as comparing these rates.
Join us for a program covering the basics both of GILTI and FDII and how they fit within the United States international tax regime. This webinar will also detail the decision-making considerations surrounding these inclusions, including whether a domestic or foreign incorporation is preferable. This analysis includes assorted factors such as foreign tax credit availability and potential source-country tax reduction for domestic corporations under income tax treaties.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the basics of GILTI and FDII and their role in U.S. international tax
- Evaluate the decision-making considerations involved in using these exclusions
- List assorted factors in these inclusions relating to tax credit availability and income tax treaties
