Subpart F (Internal Revenue Code)1962 U.S. MNCs are taxed on their worldwide earnings… when earnings are brought back (“repatriated”) to the United States (IRC) FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) 2010 deals with the U.S. taxation on amounts earned by controlled foreign corporations; provides that certain types of income of CFCs must be included in the gross income of the U.S. shareholder in the year the income is earned by the CFC. FATCA targets tax non-compliance by U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts and obliges foreign banks to report to IRS (break secrecy) information on American account holders or face 30% payment withhold from US sources.

“Check the Box Rule” (IRS form 8832) Active Financing Exceptions (1997) IRC § 954 “Look-through Rules” (2006) exceptions to Subpart F -permits MNCs to transform their foreign subsidiary into hybrid entity recognized as corporation in only one tax jurisdiction (“haven”) -US parent can become DRE - branch of CFC -makes exception by excluding rents and royalties earned by offshore CFC from taxable passive income -allows “deferral” of taxation on income earned abroad - enables creation of “stateless income”

Expansion of corporate tax base Reduction of corporate tax rate Closing the loopholes in legislation Elimination of numerous deductions (tax expenditures) applicable to corporate taxable profits (depreciation, interest payment, special credits ) Incentivizing corporations to pay lower tax at home and attract foreign MNCs Repeal of “check the box”, “look through” exceptions to Subpart F and tax Code
