To compute estimated tax and the installment payments of estimated tax, a foreign insurance company must compute its estimated tax payments by adding to its income (other than net investment income) the greater of:
- Its net investment income as determined under section 842(b)(5), that is actually effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States for the relevant period, or
- The minimum effectively connected net investment income under section 842(b) that would result from using the most recently available domestic asset/liability percentage and domestic investment yield.
