Asset Characterization:
Impact on Interest Expense and Stewardship

Please join us for the second installment of our “Understanding and Modeling Global Tax” Winter Webinar Series, “Asset Characterization for §861-8 & Impact on Interest Expense, Stewardship + Income Taxes” this Thursday, 2/4 @ 10am CST.

The rules for allocating and apportioning deductions under Treasury Regulation § 1.861-8 are a major limiting factor in determining tax savings associated with the Section 250 GILTI/FDII deduction, the U.S. foreign tax credit and many other operative sections of the Internal Revenue Code. This webinar provides a detailed analysis of the substantially revised regulations covering the allocation and apportionment of the following deductions:

– Interest Expense
– Stewardship
– Research and Experimental
– Income Taxes

Special emphasis is focused on the Asset Characterization Rules prescribed in Treasury Regulation § 1.861-13 Special Rules for Characterization of Controlled Foreign Corporation Stock.

The session will walk participants through numerical examples included in the regulations as well as a VantagePoint™ Case Study demonstrating the interplay of multiple statutory groupings and the impact of the GILTI high-tax exclusion.
