TaxConnections Member John Richardson Interviews Monte Silver: On Confiscatory Taxation On U.S. Citizen Shareholders Of Small Business Corporations

Gilti Tax - John Richardson

In December 2017 the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act imposed confiscatory taxation on the U.S. citizen shareholders of many small business corporations located outside the United States. Canadian residents have been severely impacted by this. Monte Silver is a U.S. citizen tax lawyer based in Israel who has been very active in both tax advocacy on behalf of Americans abroad and litigation.

On December 24, 2019 his lawsuit against U.S. treasury achieved a major victory in the ongoing quest for “tax justice” for individuals living outside the United States who are also U.S. citizens. This is the fourth time that John Richardson has interviewed Monte Silver on these issues. This story is far from over!

US Treasury Proposes That Foreign Income Subject To High Foreign Tax Be Excluded From Definition Of #GILTI

John Richardson On Foreign Income

In general – Good News For American Entrepreneurs Abroad …

On Friday June 14, 2019 US Treasury proposed in Notice 2019-12436 that any foreign income earned by Controlled Foreign Corporations be (subject to election) excluded from the definition of GILTI income. This will be particularly welcome to Americans living outside the United States, who are attempting to carry on business in their country of residence, through non-U.S. corporations.

For those who are concerned with understanding the hows and whys, I suggest you read Treasury’s Notice which includes a good history and description of the Subpart F rules, some Legislative History leading to the GILTI rules, and Treasury’s attempt to piece it all together. You will find it all here.
