This CLE/CPE course will provide tax professionals and advisers with a practical guide to the recently issued IRS final regulations on the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). The panel will discuss critical provisions of the new IRS final regulations, application to pass-through entities, determining aggregate groups, and Section 6038A reporting requirements. The webinar will also address gross receipts and base-erosion percentage tests, anti-abuse and recharacterization rules, and other crucial considerations.

Description

On Dec. 2, 2019, the IRS issued detailed guidance on the Sec. 59A BEAT. The final regulations provide details on determining which taxpayers are subject to the BEAT rules and base-erosion payments, and minimum amount. They also address reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

The final regulations have a significant impact on corporations with substantial gross receipts that make payments to foreign related parties and corporations required to report under Secs. 6038A and 6038C. The regulations provide critical guidance and clarification on determining the application of BEAT to taxpayers, rules for the gross receipts test and base-erosion percentage test, computation of modified taxable income and the base-erosion minimum tax amount, and anti-abuse and recharacterization rules.

The final regulations also provide relief for nonrecognition transactions, a mechanism for waiving allowable deductions, rules regarding aggregate and consolidated groups, and other crucial items that tax counsel and advisers must consider. Furthermore, the IRS issued proposed regulations on the application of BEAT to partnerships in response to concerns expressed by practitioners.

Listen as our panel of experts discusses provisions of the new IRS final regulations, its application to pass-through entities, reporting requirements, and special rules and tests. The panel will offer planning techniques for taxpayers.
