GAAP Accounting Issues and the Permanently Reinvested Representation

 

The effect of this representation is to lower the effective tax rate, and to reflect the lower tax rates of certain foreign subsidiaries located in tax havens.

Under U.S. GAAP, U.S. companies are required to provide for tax at U.S. rates on a year by year basis on the income of their foreign subsidiaries, without regard to dividend distributions. Under ASC 740, the tax effects arising from a change in tax law should be recognized in full in the year the tax laws are enacted (i.e., the 4th Quarter of 2017). Under ASC 740 (formerly APB 23) a company could avoid having to provide U.S. tax on foreign income by making a “permanently reinvested” representation (on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis) to the effect that the income of the foreign subsidiary would NOT be brought back to the U.S. This video reviews whether U.S. companies will continue to make the representation.
