2018年3月22日

美国注册188bet亚洲真人体育下载 (188bet亚洲真人体育下载) has recommended that the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provide regulatory relief to certain controlled foreign corporation (CFC) taxpayers affected by unintended consequences from the repeal of Internal Revenue Code section 958(b)(4) by Pub. L. No. 115-97, commonly referred to as the 税 Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). 

美国注册188bet亚洲真人体育下载在3月13日的报告中写道 that Treasury and the IRS should exercise their authority in section 965(o) to provide relief from the income inclusion to certain affected taxpayers.  具体地说, 信中说, relief is needed to exclude a foreign corporation, which is considered a CFC solely as a result of the “downward attribution” rules of Internal Revenue Code section 318(a)(3), from the definition of a specified foreign corporation (SFC) under section 965 for any U.S. shareholder not considered a related party (within the meaning of section 954(d)(3)) with respect to the domestic corporation to which ownership was attributed.

188bet亚洲真人体育下载 explained that the repeal of section 958(b)(4) creates “downward attribution” under section 318(a)(3) from a foreign person to a United States person.  Due to the downward attribution, certain foreign corporations are treated as CFCs.  因此,一个非法人的美国.S. shareholder could unexpectedly own an interest in a SFC as defined in section 965, which will result in an income inclusion to the U.S. shareholder of a portion of the corporation’s accumulated post-1986 deferred foreign income. 的 repeal of section 958(b)(4) applies retroactively to a foreign corporation’s last taxable year beginning before January 1, 2018 and each subsequent taxable year, which will cause an income inclusion on the U.S. 股东2017年纳税申报表.  It also applies to taxable years of U.S. shareholders in which or with which the taxable years of those foreign corporations’ end.

“的 188bet亚洲真人体育下载 believes that the income inclusion to the U.S. shareholder is inconsistent with the intent of Section 965 and the repeal of section 958(b)(4),” 信中说 and cited language from the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of the Conference to support its recommendation.
