Abstract
Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, Participation Exemption Regime Under Section 245A, No. 6130, discusses the rules for a domestic corporation claiming a deduction under §245A of the Code with respect to certain dividends received from a 10%-owned foreign subsidiary.
This Portfolio examines the operative rules under §245A, including the statutory and regulatory anti-abuse provisions that deny, in whole or in part, a deduction for certain dividends. It also discusses whether a §245A deduction is available for dividends received indirectly through partnerships and by a controlled foreign corporation (CFC). Finally, the Portfolio reviews other provisions of the Code that are implicated when a §245A deduction is allowed with respect to a dividend.
