    Owens: the Foreign Tax Credit

    REVIEWS THE FoREIGN TAx CREDIT. By Elizabeth A. Owens. Cambridge: The Law School of Harvard University, 1961. Pp. xxxi, 634. $20.00. THE foreign tax credit provisions of the Internal Revenue Code embody United States policy toward the taxation of the foreign source income of do- mestic taxpayers. By allowing credit for foreign income taxes paid, or con- sidered paid, by domestic corporations, citizens and residents, the United States asserts only a secondary claim to the foreign source income of such taxpayers. In other words, foreign governments are regarded as having the primary right to tax income arising from sources within their borders up to the burden im- posed by the United States. The foreign tax credit device thereby serves the dual purpose of eliminating double taxation and of maintaining tax equality between domestic taxpayers with only domestic source income and those with foreign source income. The credit system, however, does not work perfectly in all instances; the statutory provisions contained in five sections of the Code ' have been subject to considerable controversy and many unanswered questions remain. These questions of law and policy are the main concern of The Foreign Tax Credit. The scope of the work may be considered from a number of viewpoints. In the first place, it may be considered from the standpoint of how fully the prob- lems of the foreign tax credit have been developed. Second, the scope of the treatment of important collateral areas may be appraised. Third, the book may be examined in terms of the depth of its analysis of common as well as the heretofore neglected problems.

    Sample article for organizations to use to reach customers (288 word count) Customize and post the following article on your websites and/or other communication vehicles to help your customers who may be looking for their federal tax refund. _____________________________________________________________________________________ The IRS may have a refund check waiting for you Thousands of tax refund checks go undelivered every year because people forget to tell the IRS or post office that their address changed. This year, more than 99,000 people are due refund checks averaging $1,547. Could one of them be you? If you think your refund check may have been returned to the IRS as undelivered, you should use the Where’s My Refund? tool on IRS.gov. This tool provides the status of your refund and, in some cases, instructions on how to resolve delivery problems. You can put an end to lost, stolen or undelivered checks by choosing direct deposit when you file either paper or electronic returns. Last year, more than 78.4 million people chose to receive their refund through direct deposit. You can receive refunds directly into your bank account, split a tax refund into two or three financial accounts or even buy a savings bond. You can also file your tax return electronically. E-file eliminates the risk of lost paper returns, reduces errors on tax returns and speeds up refunds. Nearly 8 out of 10 taxpayers chose e-file last year. E-file combined with direct deposit is the best option for avoiding refund problems. Plus, it’s easy, fast and safe.

  • The Notion of Tax and the Elimination of International Double Taxation Or Double Non-Taxation”

    The Notion of Tax and the Elimination of International Double Taxation Or Double Non-Taxation”

    IFA 2016 MADRID CONGRESS “The notion of tax and the elimination of international double taxation or double non-taxation” Luxembourg national report Branch reporters: Chiara Bardini*, Sandra Fernandes** Summary and conclusions The concept of tax under Luxembourg domestic law is based on the basic distinction between compulsory levies that qualify as taxes (“impôts”) and other compulsory levies, such as fees (“taxes”). In general, the term tax can be defined as a compulsory monetary levy imposed by public authorities on the taxpayers in order to mainly raise revenue for which nothing is received in return. In Luxembourg, taxes can only be raised by the Luxembourg State and the municipalities in accordance with the principles of legality, equality and annuality. The Luxembourg tax system relies on the basic distinction between direct and indirect taxes. The Luxembourg direct taxes are levied on items of income and of capital. The main Luxembourg income taxes are the individual income tax, the corporate income tax and the municipal business tax. The net wealth tax, the real estate tax and the subscription tax are the most important Luxembourg taxes levied on items of capital. The Luxembourg notion of “tax” is crucial for the purpose of granting the domestic unilateral foreign tax credit, of applying the domestic participation exemption regime. As a rule, a foreign levy only qualifies for the purpose of such domestic provisions provided that such foreign levy is an income tax and that its main features are comparable to the Luxembourg income tax (i.e. a national income tax imposed on a similar taxable base.

Rausser is professor and chairman and Andrew Schmitz is a professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California, Berkelely; Rowley Warner is a Certified Public Accountant with Frederiksen and Company, San Francisco, California. Foreign direct investment in U. S. farmland has become a controversial subject. Several states have passed legislation which limits or prohibits nonresident aliens from purchasing farmland. At the national level, Congress requested the General Accounting Office to determine how much of U. S. farmland is cont- rolled by foreigners. The fact that there is opposition to ownership of farmland by non-U. S. residents is interesting, especially since the Uni ted States once encouraged such ownership. In 1791 Alexander Hamilton said: "Instead of being viewed as a riyal (foreign investment) ought to be considered as a most valued auxiliary, conducing to put in motion a greater quality of production labor, a greater portion 2. of useful enterprise, than could exist without.· l The press has publicized many of the larger farmland transactions often giving the impres- sion that the alien land-purchase phenomenon has reached crisis proportions.

INTRODUCTION Q ECTION 901(a) OF the Internal Revenue Code" permits a taxpayer to claim a tax credit for income, war profits, and excess profits taxes paid or accrued to foreign countries or United States possessions. Pay- ments made to a foreign government in the form of a royalty, or a sepa- rate charge for a service or a benefit, can only be claimed as a deduction in determining the taxpayer's taxable income.2 The foreign tax credit per- mits a U.S. taxpayer to pay a net U.S. tax liability on his overseas activi- ties equal to the difference between his gross U.S.
