Trade Association Asks for Book Minimum Tax Clarity
The National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) sent a letter January 15 to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS to ask for clarity on the corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT). In the letter, the business group asked for details on the treatment of Section 316 distributions involving dividend income and distributions from retained earnings. The CAMT is based on the adjusted financial statement income (AFSI) of an applicable corporation for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. The NFTC also requested the Treasury Department and the IRS confirm that distributions exclusively from the U.S. tax basis of a controlled foreign corporation should be excluded from the AFSI.
