IRS Disallows Foreign Tax Credits Claimed for Cross-Border Trust

Excerpt from Practical US/International Tax Strategies by Lawrence Hill and Alexander Roberts (Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP)

Recently, the IRS issued a Chief Counsel Advice memorandum (CCA) advising the disallowance of foreign tax credits claimed by a U.S. corporation (U.S. Corporation) in connection with income and assets transferred to a cross-border trust (Trust) on the grounds that the Trust arrangement lacked economic substance. The IRS determined that the cross-border trust “served no legitimate non-tax purpose and was not reasonably expected to generate an economic profit for the taxpayer.” In the alternative, the IRS concluded that the series of transactions involved in the arrangement lacked economic substance as an integrated transaction. In addition, the IRS determined that the foreign tax credits should be denied under Section 269(a)(1) and (2) because the taxpayer formed and transferred funds to a subsidiary with the principal purpose of avoiding U.S. federal income tax.
