Companies scored wins after the House passed a multi-trillion-dollar tax bill that largely preserved the current tax rates on foreign-earned income. Republicans' 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created a new international tax regime including a minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, a reduced tax rate on foreign-derived intangible income, or FDII, and a base erosion and anti-abuse tax, or BEAT. Each of these tax rates will go up in 2026 without congressional action, but House lawmakers made slight changes that will result in minimal tax increases. But the debate isn't over. The bill now heads to the Senate, where tax practitioners and companies expect impactful changes to the mammoth legislation, including the international provisions. On this week's episode of Talking Tax, reporter Lauren Vella talks about the House provisions, what companies want to see in the Senate version of the tax bill, and how the legislation might impact US relations with other countries.

On the latest episode of Beyond the Numbers by Weaver, host Vince Houk, Partner-in-Charge, International Tax Services at Weaver, delves deep into the world of strategic transfer pricing and how businesses can use it to their advantage. Joining him is Josh Finfrock, Director, Transfer Pricing Services at Weaver, an expert with a wealth of knowledge in the field. Key Points: One overlooked opportunity in utilizing FDII is to analyze the expense allocation with GNA expenses and allocate accordingly based on genuine benefit, which can help derive a better benefit. Other opportunities include looking at services provided by the U.S. company that may qualify for the FDII benefit and reviewing the IP structure to potentially move IP into the U.S. The U.S. provides a jurisdiction with substance, a good treaty network, and potentially lower tax rates compared to other countries, making it an attractive option for IP ownership and maintaining key operations. How can firms shift their perception and utilize transfer pricing as an asset rather than a burden? And what lies beyond the surface of transfer pricing, and how can businesses harness its potential to enhance their global operations? Clients often overlook how strategic transfer pricing can be and how it can be a tax saver and assist in cash management efficiency. For example, there is cash repatriation leakage that can be planned around with transfer pricing. Rate differentials between countries can be another challenge that transfer pricing adjustments can help save. Finfrock stated, “If we can do a strategic transfer pricing review with the company, we're going to come in and be able to look at, get a holistic view of the company, the global structure, understand where all the moving pieces are. That way, then we really know where those levers are, what our range of outcomes can be in different places, and then we can find those opportunities for savings.” Subscribe and listen to future episodes of Beyond the Numbers on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. ©2023
In this episode of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers, On the Shop Floor podcast hosts Colby Horn and Kurtis Dixon examine the world of export incentives with Vince Houk, Weaver's partner-in-charge, International Tax Services. Together they discuss how companies can leverage these benefits to reduce taxes, offset costs and optimize their financial strategies.Key Points: • Export incentives yield permanent tax savings• IC-DISC and FDII offer tax advantages for international sales• Effective use of incentives boosts financial gainsExport incentives have emerged as a pivotal tool for companies, especially those in the M&D sector selling goods outside the U.S. These incentives offer permanent tax savings and mitigate unfavorable legislative changes such as R&D capitalization. This episode explores how businesses can maximize benefits, particularly after recent tax code changes. Vince emphasizes the importance of these incentives, specifically for maximizing benefits to offset costs. He further elaborates on the two main incentives from an export perspective, IC-DISC and FDII, explaining their nuances and potential benefits for different entities. IC-DISCs are for companies that manufacture in the U.S. and sell internationally. FDIIs are specifically for C corps that sell products outside of the U.S. to a foreign person for foreign use. With many clients engaging in significant international sales, Weaver regularly helps companies feel comfortable moving forward with these benefits.

The latest version of the Build Back Better bill was released by the U.S. House of Representatives on November 5, 2021. The bill includes significant spending initiatives which are paid for, in part, by proposed tax provisions that impact companies operating outside the United States. Tax Beat hosts, Brooks and Sarah, invite Cherry Bekaert's International Tax specialists, Brian Dill and Michael Cornett, to highlight the proposed provisions impacting income subject to GILTI and FDII tax rates. They also address other proposed provisions including changes to foreign tax credits and BEAT.

Doug McHoney (PwC's US International Tax Services Co-Leader) is live at the Westminster Studios with Sherry Grabow (PwC's US International Tax Services Co-Leader) to discuss the international tax provisions in the recently released ‘Chairman's Mark' from the House Ways and Means Committee. Doug and Sherry cover, among other topics: Interest expense under new Section 163(n) and existing Section 163(j); changes to foreign derived intangible income (FDII), modifications to the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) regime, changes to the foreign tax credit rules; sweeping changes to subpart F income; a refreshed base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT), and how taxpayers should prepare for potential changes to the tax rules.
On September 13, the House Ways and Means Committee and the Joint Committee on Taxation released drafts of proposed tax legislation and estimated budget effects of taxes under the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill. Many of the provisions in the draft legislation are familiar from President Biden's American Families Plan and American Jobs Plan and Treasury's Green Book released earlier this year. In this session, Cherry Bekaert's Tax Beat hosts, Brooks and Sarah, walk through highlights of the draft legislation including proposed tax rate changes and the taxpayers who may be impacted. They also discuss surprises in the draft bill that were not mentioned in the earlier proposals from President Biden, and the effective dates for various provisions. To close out the discussion, Brian Dill, partner and leader of the Firm's International Tax Practice Team, joins in for a discussion of the proposed legislative changes to FDII, GILTI, foreign tax credits and other tax provisions impacting companies operating within and outside of the U.S. Chapter Marks:01:30 Background – legislative process - $1.2 T infrastructure08:02 Tax rate changes (effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)11:13 Capital gains (generally effective for transactions on or after September 13, 2021) 14:42 Taxing income from a pass-through business (effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)20:01 Estates and trusts (generally effective for estates and gifts arising after 12/31/2021)22:25 Mega-IRAs (generally effective for tax years beginning after 12/31/2021)24:39 Other Selected Provisions26:30 International Tax Provisions
Brooks and Sarah discuss the potential impact of proposed changes to U.S. based multinational companies with Cherry Bekaert's Brian Dill, Principal and International Tax Leader, and Michael Cornett, Director for International Tax Services. These proposed changes were introduced in the American Jobs Plan and further explained in Treasury's Green Book. The conversation covers proposed changes to FDII, GILTI, anti-inversion, and other tax rules intended to discourage moving business operations off shore. We also discuss the recent G7 and G20 agreements to pursue a 15% minimum global tax rate. Brian and Mike highlight common themes in tax policies across countries, and we wrap up with a few ideas and actions multinational companies should consider now.The conversation includes:2:45: Overview7:50: American Jobs Plan proposals and Green Book explanations19:55: A 15% global minimum tax rate29:13: Potential Impact to a company's global supply chain35:56: Final commentsRelated Guidance:Tax Beat: Treasury's Green Book Part 1Tax Beat: Treasury's Green Book Part 2Tax Beat: American Jobs Plan, 2021Tax Beat: American Families Plan

Doug McHoney (PwC's US International Tax Services (ITS) Leader) holds the second post-vaccine session live at the Westminster Studios with Pat Brown (PwC WNTS Policy Co-leader) to discuss President Biden's FY 22 Budget and the much anticipated and related explanations of such proposals, also known as the Treasury Green Book. Doug and Pat cover, among other proposals: increasing the US corporate income tax rate from 21% to 28%; increasing the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax rate to 21%; removing the qualified business asset investment (QBAI) provision; repealing the deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII); replacing the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (BEAT) with a Stopping Harmful Inversions and Ending Low-tax Developments (SHIELD) provision; restricting deductions of excessive interest for disproportionate borrowing in the US; the status and likelihood of the OECD's Pillars One and Two; and what companies should consider as potential tax legislation becomes more likely.
The December 2020 final foreign tax credit regulations introduced a stock-based asset apportionment methodology for all taxpayers. But given the timing of these final regulations, many taxpayers were forced to estimate their stewardship for provision purposes using the asset apportionment methodology used for interest expense. Since many taxpayers are past provision season, now is the time to consider how, under the new regulations, you can lower stewardship expenses, which may in turn improve your ETR, your foreign tax credit position and your foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) outcome.On this podcast, our international tax and transfer pricing specialists discuss:An overview of stewardship expenseThe December 2020 final foreign tax credit regulations and their approach to the treatment of stewardshipEntities to which stewardship applies The default/residual method and the direct allocation methodMeasuring US stock basis and characterizing the stockThe seven-step approach to calculating stewardship expenseThe replay of the Tax Readiness: International tax planning post-election webcast is available here.Speakers: Elizabeth Nelson, International Tax Services PartnerAndrea Greene, International Tax Services PartnerMike Urse, International Tax Services PartnerPeter Lee, Transfer Pricing Partner
In this episode we discuss that multinationals should expect significant changes in the tax environment from both US and non-US governments and organizations like the EU and the OECD. Additionally, a likely increase in the corporate tax rate would have major impacts on the GILTI and FDII rates and calculations. This, combined with global tax measures mean that multinationals must consider their global tax structure. These next six months are crucial for data-driven analysis and planning in order to understand options and react.The replay of the Tax Readiness: International tax planning post-election webcast is available here.Speakers: Julie Allen, Washington National Tax Services Market Leader Doug McHoney, International Tax Services Co-Leader Nita Asher, US Transfer Pricing Leader Paige Hill, a Principal in PwC’s International Tax Services practice
