Martha MacRae, is Senior Manager, US Tax in Baker Tilly's Dartmouth office | | Our last article focused on the impact of IRC 965 (a.k.a. the repatriation tax or transition tax) on US citizens resident in Canada. IRC 965 was brutal for those impacted by it, forcing them to choose between retroactive double taxation on corporate earnings not yet distributed or accelerating Canadian personal tax due to early distribution of corporate earnings. While 2017 marked the passing of the transition tax, 2018 marked the beginning of an even more punitive regime: IRC 951A or the GILTI (Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income) regime. This article will provide an overview of the GILTI rules and their implications, as well as exploring planning options that should be considered by those subject to the rules. |
