This webinar will discuss tax consequences of cross-border transactions. Our knowledgeable panel of foreign planning professionals will discuss outbound transfers, foreign acquisitions and section 338(g) elections, and section 7874 inversion transaction.

Description

Discussion on sections 367(a) and 367(b) pertain to the tax consequences of certain transactions involving the transfer of property by a U.S. person to a foreign corporation.

Discussion on section 338(g) election which allows the buyer to treat a stock purchase as an asset purchase and allows for a basis step-up for assets purchased.

Discussion on section 7874 transaction in which a domestic corporation or partnership converts into, merges with, or becomes a subsidiary of a foreign corporation through a stock exchange. Section 7874 transactions may result in adverse federal income tax implications. The severity of these tax consequences, amongst other factors, generally hinges on the extent of ownership overlap between the domestic entity before the transaction and the foreign corporation holding its stock or assets afterward.

Listen as our panel of international tax experts covers critical tax considerations for effective cross-border acquisitions.
