Abstract

This article floats the proposition that from a U.S. tax perspective, the UTPR is the mathematical, conceptual, and legal equivalent of a 100 percent withholding tax on a deemed distribution by the UTPR entity, and addresses questions that would follow regarding the desirability of such a confiscatory tax and its interaction with tax treaties.
