US FTC for UK DPT?
EY’s Global Tax Alert provides a summary of the US congressional developments, including a review for US Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) applicability of the UK’s Diverted Profits Tax (DPT) which went into effect April 2015.
This review highlights a renewed focus on receiving a US FTC for income that may have been taxed in another (low-tax) jurisdiction and for which a country asserts a right to tax in its jurisdiction. The answer is not yet clear, and this analysis also points the way forward for similar tax measures being legislated by various countries.
