A review of the week's major US international tax-related news. In this edition: Altera Corp. files petition for rehearing challenge of 2003 cost sharing regs – IRS publishes final regs relating to the allocation of creditable foreign tax expenditures by a partnership – UK’s Boris Johnson to succeed Theresa May as Prime Minister; UK publishes draft legislation and consultation paper on EU MDR – OECD updates peer review of preferential tax regimes
Intel subsidiary Altera Corp.'s cost-sharing structure—and that of other Silicon Valley companies—lies in the hands of one appellate court judge: Susan Graber. The judge's questioning during recent oral argument in the company’s dispute with the IRS could signal a victory for the government, but all agree Altera probably wouldn’t take that lying down. Will the company find itself at war again over whether it’s going to be forced to include stock compensation in its U.S. taxable income? And what about the controversy sparked over handling opinions by judges who die or otherwise become unavailable before the court is done with a case? In this week’s special edition of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Sony Kassam and legal editor Carolina Vargas get reactions to this second go-round in the Ninth Circuit and take a look at what's ahead. This episode features Patrick Smith, a partner at Ivins, Phillips & Barker; Barbara Mantegani, a tax adviser and founder of Mantegani Tax; Calvin Johnson, a professor at the University of Texas in Austin; and Susan Yorke, an attorney at the California Appellate Law Group. This episode is the final part of a three-part series examining the case. Hosts: Sony Kassam and Carolina Vargas Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch
Intel subsidiary Altera Corp. and the Internal Revenue Service will meet again this month in the 9th Circuit in a case watched by Facebook, Google, and others. A loss for the computer chip-maker could be detrimental to Silicon Valley. A central question in the case turns on the complicated question of allocating costs. But is the case anything more than procedural foofaraw? And was it appropriate for the court to withdraw a previous opinion and replace a deceased judge five months after his death? In this week’s special edition of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax reporter Sony Kassam and legal editor Carolina Vargas get the answers to these questions and more. This episode features Susan Yorke, an attorney in the Ninth Circuit; Barbara Mantegani, a tax advisor and founder of Mantegani Tax; and Calvin Johnson, a professor at the University of Texas in Austin. This episode is part two of a three-part series examining the case. Hosts: Sony Kassam and Carolina Vargas. Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch.
