New rules to ensure better reporting by foreign trusts
Article Abstract:
Foreign trusts have been made less attractive from a US taxation perspective after changes in substantive and reporting provisions by the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. The IRC section 1491 35% excise tax extension is one of three major substantive deterrents of the new scheme. New stringent reporting requirements subject grantors and beneficiaries to substantial penalties if filings are untimely or contain inadequate information.
