IC-DISC Tax Law Challenges Post-Tax Reform

Understand the ideal mechanisms required to form and maintain an IC-DISC.

An Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation regime, known as an IC-DISC, is a federal tax export incentive regime. Under the regime, U.S. companies that export goods and services to foreign countries are permitted to enjoy certain benefits, provided certain conditions are met. An IC-DISC creates the opportunity to tax a portion of export-related profits at lower tax rates and to potentially defer export-related income to future tax years. This topic will provide you the ideal mechanisms required to form and maintain an IC-DISC. You will also learn the requirements of commission payments of the IC-DISC based upon gross receipts and the qualifying assets test. This material will discuss the specific benefits of the IC-DISC, including the potential benefit of qualified dividend rates on commissions paid to its shareholders. The topic will also provide and discuss structuring opportunities based upon common business types, including ideal S-Corporation and C-Corporation IC-DISC structuring options. Additionally, the information will cover the effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the potential IC-DISC benefit and related tax planning opportunities. Finally, President Biden's tax plan may significantly impact the IC-DISC benefit and alter traditional structuring options. Such potential impacts will be explored as well.
