Foreign tax credits and anti-deferral update

The recent final foreign tax credit regulations have introduced a number of changes to the calculation of the foreign tax credit limitation. With changes to R&D tax credit expense allocation and stewardship, as well as new branch basket and loss limitation rules, there’s been a lot of regulation updates for organizations to keep up with. Additionally, final GILTI and Subpart F coordination regulations have provided a clearer picture of how to calculate the high-tax exception, but also created traps for the unwary.

During this webinar, our international tax experts will address the most significant aspects of these regulation changes, their most frequently received questions, and examples to help ensure you’re following these updates accurately.
