— Foreign branch is defined in Temp. Reg. § 1.367(a)-6T(g): “[T]he term foreign branch means an integral business operation carried on by a U.S. person outside the United States. Whether the activities of a U.S. person outside the United States constitute a foreign branch operation must be determined under all the facts and circumstances. Evidence of the existence of a foreign branch includes, but is not limited to, the existence of a separate set of books and records, and the existence of an office or other fixed place of business used by employees or officers of the U.S. person in carrying out business activities outside the United States. Activities outside the United States shall be deemed to constitute a foreign branch for purposes of this section if the activities constitute a permanent establishment under the terms of a treaty between the United States and the country in which the activities are carried out. Any U.S. person may be treated as having a foreign branch for purposes of this section, whether that person is a corporation, partnership, trust estate or individual.

— Also includes a qualified business unit (QBU) as defined in Reg. § 1.989-1(b)(2)(ii): “Activities of a corporation, partnership, trust, estate, or individual qualify as a QBU if – (A) the activities constitute a trade or business; and (B) a separate set of books and records is maintained with respect to the activities.- Trade or business is defined as “a specific unified group of activities that constitutes (or could constitute) an

independent economic enterprise carried on for profit, the expenses related to which are deductible under section 162 or 212... To constitute a trade or business the activities must ordinarily include every operation which forms a part of, or a step in, a process by which an enterprise may earn income or profit.”

Campaigns – The Hypothesis

Original Objective: break historical reliance on comprehensive large taxpayer audits

— Shift focus from enterprise to issue

— Shrink number and scope of traditional CIC audits

— Expect campaigns to reach/influence taxpayers not regularly audited

Campaign process

— Issues to be centrally identified – rather than locally “classified”

— Appropriate “treatment” to be applied to the taxpayer/issue- Enhance guidance- Soft notices/letters- Issue-focused audits

— Presumes integration of local IRS enforcement personnel with national subject-matter specialists

if the IRS determines that the required filings and/or payments are not made. - Section 965 inquiries directed to CAP taxpayers starting with 2017 tax year.

— Corporate Direct (Section 901) Foreign Tax Credit (“FTC”) Campaign- Focus on taxpayers who are in an excess limitation position. Future FTC campaigns may

address indirect credits and section 904(a) FTC limitation issues.

Debt/Equity Determinations

— Gradual increase in IRS exams focused on intercompany debt (specifically, whether bona fide debt or equity).

— Focus may continue given enactment of new section 163(j) and IRS ability to limit interest expense going forward.

— Consider proactive reviews:- Ensures that appropriate documentation is in place to accurately report transaction for

both tax and financial statement purposes.- Minimizes risk that a large interest expense deduction will be disallowed.
