International Tax Issues 2018

Why You Should Attend

As the world’s economies grow increasingly integrated through trade, acquisitions and joint ventures, U.S. international tax laws impact a greater percentage of businesses and transactions. These international tax rules just went through substantial revisions with the passage of U.S. tax reform at the end of 2017. These new international tax rules affect not only large U.S. and non-U.S.-based multinationals, but also affect mid-sized and smaller organizations and investors, financing transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and other commercial activity.

At this year’s program we will assemble some of the world’s leading experts and senior government officials to discuss the recent changes to the complex rules of U.S. international taxation. We will focus upon both operational and transactional implications of these rules, and will describe the application of the rules to both U.S. and non-U.S.-based organizations and investors.

Topics Include

• U.S. tax reform – Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”)
• Planning strategies for dealing with cross-border M&A
• Update on foreign tax credit and Subpart F developments
• Transfer pricing aspects of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) and base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”)

Who Should Attend

Law firm and accounting firm professionals who advise clients on structuring cross border transactions, and on international tax planning and controversy matters; in-house tax professionals involved in cross-border and internal planning, in FIN 48 determinations and in IRS audits and appeals of international issues; and government attorneys who want to stay on top of what’s happening in the international tax arena.​​​
