Definition of a Controlled Foreign Corporation, Foreign Base Company Income and Foreign Personal Holding Company Income of a Controlled Foreign Corporation

Résumé

This document contains final Income Tax Regulations governing the definition of a controlled foreign corporation and the definitions of foreign base company income and foreign personal holding company income of a controlled foreign corporation. These regulations are necessary because of changes made to the prior law by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Technical and Miscellaneous Revenue Act of 1988, the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1989, and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. Certain conforming changes in the regulations were necessary because of changes made by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984. The regulations will provide the public with the guidance to comply with those acts and will affect United States shareholders of controlled foreign corporations.
