Treasury Releases Final Regulations Protecting U.S. Tax Base
June 14, 2019

WASHINGTON — Today, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service issued final
regulations under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that provide guidance concerning the treatment of
global intangible low-taxed income. The regulations o er guidance for determining the amount
of global intangible low-taxed income included in the gross income of certain U.S. shareholders
of foreign corporations as well as certain reporting requirements.
“Treasury’s regulations protect the U.S. tax base by closing loopholes that allowed evasive tax
practices that shi ed U.S. profits overseas,” said Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “These
regulations are an essential step toward modernizing the U.S. tax system and shi ing from a
worldwide system toward a territorial system of taxation.”
The final regulations narrow the anti-abuse provisions that were included in the proposed
regulations. They also revise the domestic partnership provisions to adopt an aggregate
approach for purposes of determining the amount of global intangible low-taxed income
included in the gross income of a partner with respect to controlled foreign corporations owned
by a partnership.
The Treasury also issued final regulations relating to certain foreign tax credit aspects of the
transition tax.
In addition, Treasury issued proposed regulations that address the treatment of domestic
partnerships for purposes of determining amounts included in the gross income of their
partners and provide new rules regarding gross income that is subject to a high rate of foreign
tax.
