Strategizing Multinational Tax Risks

The IRS is pursuing many avenues of guidance this year and next, including:

• Proposed rules for US Tax Act Sec. 965 in August 2018, which should be just in time for the 1-year SAB 118 period that ends Q3 for calendar-year taxpayers.
• Proposed rules for Foreign Tax Credit of the US Tax Act in August 2018
• Proposed rules for GILTI in Sept. 2018 (hopefully this will allow consolidated calculation vs. separate shareholder chain rule currently written in the law)
• Proposed rules for BEAT in October 2018
• Other rules should follow in 2019

This guidance will hopefully clarify the above provisions to allow relevant tax planning, based on the certainty of the US Tax Act provisions.
