Webcast overview
Taxpayers have faced uncertainty as to how to properly account for their foreign branch operations since Congress first enacted section 987 due to the lack of currently applicable Treasury Regulations.
On November 14, 2023, IRS and Treasury published proposed regulations under section 987. Largely consistent with the regulations proposed in 2006 and 2016, these regulations require taxpayers to employ a complex methodology, especially in comparison with the profit-and-loss methodologies commonly employed by taxpayers today.
