Abstract

In this article, the authors critically appraise the government’s proposal not to allocate research and development deductions to subpart F inclusions and global intangible low-taxed income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. They say the proposal is an unprecedented interpretation of the statute unsupported by any relevant legislative history that would radically change an R&D allocation method in place since 1977. They argue that the justifications provided in the proposed regulations’ preamble do not stand up to scrutiny.
