Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) entitled
Guidance Related to the Allocation and Apportionment of Deductions and Foreign Taxes,
Foreign Tax Redeterminations, Foreign Tax Credit Disallowance Under Section 965(g),
Consolidated Groups, Hybrid Arrangements and Certain Payments Under Section 951A (RINs:

Federal Register as final and temporary regulations and removal of temporary regulations on
November  12, 2020.1 85 Fed. Reg. 71998. The stated effective date of the rule is January 11,

According to IRS, this final rule provides guidance relating to the allocation and apportionment
of deductions and creditable foreign taxes, the definition of financial services income, foreign tax
redeterminations, availability of foreign tax credits under the transition tax, and the application of
the foreign tax credit limitation to consolidated groups. Also, according to IRS, the rule provides
guidance related to adjustments to hybrid deduction accounts to take into account certain
inclusions in income by a United States shareholder, conduit financing arrangements involving
hybrid instruments, and the treatment of certain payments under the global intangible low-taxed
income provisions.
