This webinar will discuss the U.S. tax consequences of outbound asset transfers to foreign corporations. Our panel of international tax experts will explain the interplay of Section 367 with the nonrecognition rules, reporting responsibilities, and gain recognition agreements (GRAs) with the IRS for taxpayers who have made or are contemplating overseas transfers of assets.

Description

IRC Section 367 taxes transfers of intangible and tangible property to foreign corporations that would otherwise qualify for nonrecognition treatment under Sections 332, 351, 355, and 368. Section 367(a) commonly applies to transfers of assets to a foreign corporation in exchange for stock and other methods of foreign restructuring while Section 367(d) affects transfers of intangible property, including goodwill, going concern value, and workforce in place.

There are exceptions to Section 367 treatment. Specific transactions and taxpayers can qualify for nonrecognition treatment by entering into a gain recognition agreement (GRA) with the IRS. Not reporting these transactions as required by IRC Section 6038(b) or qualifying for an exception under the regulations could subject the taxpayer to substantial penalties.

Listen as our panel of international tax experts explains the transactions and types of assets subject to Section 367, the applicable exceptions to taxation, reporting requirements for these outbound transfers, and remedies for untimely or incomplete filings.
