This CLE/CPE webinar will provide tax counsel and advisers with a detailed analysis of the taxation of digital asset transactions under current tax law. The panel will discuss the impact of applicable IRS tax rules and recent regulations, sourcing of income rules and challenges, issues presented by applicable international tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code, and other vital items impacting taxpayers engaging in digital asset transactions.

Description

The Internal Revenue Service Code and recent regulations and guidance include significant provisions impacting digital asset transactions and reporting requirements. Tax professionals must understand the impact of current tax rules and critical issues regarding the tax treatment of digital asset transactions to properly advise and implement planning techniques to minimize tax liability to taxpayers.

Recent regulations broadened the definition of "digital asset" as such relates to blockchain and redefines "broker" to include persons providing services to transfer digital assets, in addition to other vital provisions. Tax professionals must evaluate the transactions and practices of taxpayers engaged in digital assets and cryptocurrency.

In addition, current tax regulations and the existing IRS guidance have significant implications on cross-border transactions, providing that the source of income from digital transactions is the place where the transaction occurred, potentially subjecting taxpayers to multijurisdictional tax obligations.

Furthermore, taxpayers must also consider the impact of other federal tax provisions such as the base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT) regime, the U.S. tax treatment under the controlled foreign corporation (CFC) regime, and the foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) regime.

Listen as our panel discusses key provisions and challenges under current tax law for digital asset transactions, IRS tax treatment reporting requirements, potential issues stemming from BEAT, GILTI, FDII rules, and other essential items impacting taxpayers engaging in digital asset transactions.
