Addendum to the Interagency Policy Statement on Income Tax Allocation in a Holding Company Structure

Résumé

The Agencies are issuing jointly an Addendum (Addendum) to the "Interagency Policy Statement on Income Tax Allocation in a Holding Company Structure" to ensure that insured depository institutions (IDIs) in a consolidated group maintain an appropriate relationship regarding the payment of taxes and treatment of tax refunds. The Addendum instructs IDIs and their holding companies to review and revise their tax allocation agreements to ensure that the agreements expressly acknowledge that the holding company receives a tax refund from a taxing authority as agent for the IDI and are consistent with certain of the requirements of sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. The Addendum includes a sample paragraph that IDIs could include in their tax allocation agreements to facilitate the Agencies' instructions.
