US tax reform: complexities of repatriation regime - part 2

In the second part of our series on the changes in the US tax system, Donald Doran discusses the complex changes to the country’s earnings repatriation regime

The 2017 Act will require a mandatory deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed foreign earnings and profits. The rate applied varies depending on whether the earnings and profits is held in liquid (as defined in the 2017 Act) or non-liquid assets. A proportional deduction on the deemed repatriation will result in a repatriation toll charge of 15.5% for cash and liquid assets and 8% for non-liquid assets.
