Bring SALT to the table: Key state and local topics

Published: Feb. 5, 2021, 11 a.m.

Doug McHoney (PwC's US International Tax Services (ITS) Leader) and Rob Ozmun (State and Local Tax (SALT) Partner in PwC's Washington National Tax Services office) peel the onion on how state and local tax issues can impact cross-border planning, and vice versa. Doug and Rob set the table with a brief primer on state and local corporate tax, then devour topics including: state conformity to the Internal Revenue Code; how different states have handled federal developments regarding subpart F income, global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), the Section 965 'toll charge,' and the Section 250 deduction; how businesses are analyzing the dividends received deduction (DRD) under Section 245A and the GILTI high-tax exception at the state level; important state and local considerations related to the business interest expense deduction rules under Section 163(j); how states have reacted to the CARES Act; how states have implemented (or declined to implement) the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT); and key considerations for taxpayers. Come hungry for knowledge, leave satiated.
