Shay, Getting from Here to There: The Transition Tax Issue, 154 Tax Notes, Mar. 27, 2017, at 69.http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:31958204If there is fundamental U.S. international income tax reform, regardless of the reform option chosen, the United States must decide how to handle the $2.4 trillion to $2.6 trillion of previously untaxed foreign income accumulated by U.S. multinational corporations. In this report, Fleming, Peroni, and Shay argue that the proper approach is to treat the income as a subpart F inclusion in the year before the effective date of fundamental reform and to tax it at regular rates with an option to make the payments in installments that bear market-rate interest. The authors explain why the case for a low or deferred tax on this income is inferior to the case for full immediate taxation.en-USJournal Article2017-04-03
