Wacker Drive Chicago, IL 60606 Counsel for Petitioners QUESTIONS PRESENTED For nearly a century, federal tax treatment of agreements between related companies (such as par- ents and subsidiaries) has depended on the “arm’s- length” standard: If unrelated companies operating at arm’s length would share a cost, then related com- panies must share the cost as well. 26 U.S.C. 482; 26 C.F.R. 1.482-1(b)(1). The United States has incorpo- rated the arm’s-length standard into many tax trea- ties, and all major developed nations now follow it. In 2003, the Treasury Department promulgated a regulation, purporting to follow the arm’s-length standard, in which it required related companies to share the cost of stock-based employee compensation.
