  2. More States Respond to Federal Tax Reform

    Both Bills also make clear that the federal deduction permitted under IRC § 965(c) (which facilitates a reduction of the effective federal tax rate on the deemed repatriated foreign earnings) would not be allowed in computing New York taxable income. We expected New York would make this proposed change because disallowing the § 965(c) deduction from New York taxable income would be consistent with excluding the deemed repatriation from taxable income.GILTI: The Senate Bill now attempts to extend similar treatment to global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) that may be included in a taxpayer’s income under IRC § 951A, with the result that GILTI would be “exempt CFC income” excluded from taxable income. As with the deemed repatriated earnings, this treatment would extend to GILTI attributable to non-unitary subsidiaries.

  3. Final Regulations on Stock Owned by Domestic Partnerships under Subpart F

    Freeman LawFebruary 3, 2022

    In this context, the IRS deemed an aggregate approach to be “necessary to ensure that . . . a single GILTI inclusion amount is determined for each taxpayer based on its economic interests in all of its CFCs.” However, the IRS feared that treating a domestic partnership as an aggregate for purposes of determining a U.S. shareholder’s GILTI but as an entity for purposes of determining a U.S. shareholder’s Subpart F inclusion would be “inconsistent with legislative intent” and “introduce substantial complexity and uncertainty . . . .”Which brings us to the final regulations for domestic partnerships under Subpart F.What Do the Final Regulations Do?Under the newly issued final regulations, a domestic partnership will not be treated as owning stock in a foreign corporation for purposes of determining a U.S. shareholder’s Subpart F inclusion as well as for purposes of any provision that applies by reference to section 951, 951A, and 956(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Instead, stock owned by a domestic partnership will be treated as owned proportionately by its partners for these purposes.

  4. How will Georgia conform to federal tax reform? Annual legislation introduced

    Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLPW. Scott WrightFebruary 6, 2018

    Georgia would adopt the new federal GILTI and FDII provisions under HB 821. In addition to the transition tax under IRC § 965, the Federal Tax Reform Act also created new provisions related to taxation of certain foreign intangible income under IRC § 951A and IRC § 250. New IRC § 951A imposes a tax on certain GILTI, and new IRC § 250 allows for a deduction related to GILTI as well as certain FDII.

    than 90% of the maximum U.S. corporate income tax rate (the “high-tax exception”). In theory, the 21% U.S. federal corporate income tax rate should make it easier to qualify for this exception.In 2017, the TCJA introduced a new class of income – global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) – that must be included in the gross income of a U.S. shareholder of a CFC, and which further eroded a U.S. person’s ability to defer the U.S. taxation of foreign-sourced business income.This provision requires the current inclusion in income by a U.S. shareholder of (i) their share of all of a CFC’s non-Subpart F income (other than income that is excluded from foreign base company income by reason of the “high-tax” exception], (ii) less an amount equal to the U.S. shareholder’s share of 10% of the adjusted basis of the CFC’s tangible property used in its trade or business and of a type with respect to which a depreciation deduction is generally allowable; the difference is the shareholder’s GILTI. [IRC Sec. 951A.]In the case of an individual, the maximum federal tax rate on GILTI is 37%. This is the rate that will apply, for example, to a U.S. citizen who directly owns at least 10% of the stock of a CFC.More forgiving rules apply in the case of a U.S. shareholder that is a C corporation. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, a regular domestic C corporation is generally allowed a deduction of an amount equal to 50% of its GILTI; thus, the federal corporate tax rate for GILTI is actually 10.5% (the 21% flat rate multiplied by 50%). [IRC Sec. 250(a)(1)(B).] However, see the election under IRC Sec. 962. IRC Sec. 951(a). In effect, the Code treats the U.S. Shareholder of a CFC as having received a current distribution of their share of the CFC’s Subpart F income. An actual or deemed shareholder.

    Under IRC section 250(a)(1)(A), taxpayers are generally permitted a deduction from income equal to 37.5% of FDII.New Jersey Treatment of GILTI and FDIINew Jersey Legislation New Jersey legislation has confirmed that a corporate taxpayer must include the amount of GILTI calculated under IRC section 951A in its taxable income base for CBT purposes, but also may take the deductions related to both GILTI and FDII under IRC section 250(a). New Jersey law does not provide for any offset of CBT with foreign tax credits.

    The influential Council On State Taxation (COST) in Washington, DC submitted its comment letter on August 28 to the Acting Director of the ADOR’s Tax Policy and Governmental Affairs Division, Kelley Gillikin, and to Deputy Commissioner of Revenue Joe Garrett. Like their comment letter submitted in response to a previous draft of the report, COST focused on three issues: Alabama’s conformity with new IRC §965 on deemed repatriation income; the new interest expense limitation under IRC §163(j) and its interrelationship with Alabama’s add-back statute; and Alabama’s taxation of Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) under new IRC §951A. COST, through its research affiliate, the State Tax Research Institute, and Ernst & Young LLP released a study in March that has become the benchmark analysis in this rapidly evolving area.

Although the income is subject to tax at regular rates, under new IRC § 250, a deduction is allowed for 50% of the amount included in income, effectively taxing GILTI at a 10.
