In general terms, this is one of the most frequent questions we get from prospective clients. So then, How do you file US tax returns while in Canada?
The first question we need to ask is whether you’re actually required to file US tax returns. Generally speaking, US citizens and Green Card holders are required to file US tax returns regardless of where they live. Therefore Americans living in Canada, whether they’ve recently moved to Canada or have been in the country their entire lives are required to file US tax returns in addition to their regular Canadian tax returns.
Capital Markets: Overview
The banks in this note reported US$169bn of operating revenue in FY17, 3% below FY16, and US$35bn in 4Q17, -10% y/y. Primary revenue grew, but Equities slipped and - crucially - FY17 FICC dropped 10% y/y. A fall in per-head FICC productivity led to renewed 'rightsizing' initiatives.
Banks (again) matched their costs to revenue: the average cost/income for banks in this report declined, from 82% in FY16 to 79% in FY17, driven by improvement in FICC and Banking.
Opinions on the impact of MiFID 2 vary widely; we expect it will be significant. For example, when TRACE reporting was introduced in the US, the added transparency on volumes traded (and hence flows) let to a c.30% reduction in bid-offer (or equivalent) margins. A similar phenomenon may be seen in MiFID 2, as it applies to most of the high-volume fixed income instruments. The exact margin reduction is likely to be smaller, as increased use of electronic markets means that the European markets are already more transparent than the US markets were at the time TRACE reports were introduced; still, we would not be surprised to see margin compression of 10-15% with a commensurate impact on revenues.

International Tax Reform for US Individuals and Pass-through Entities Fenwick & West
The recent Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has revolutionized the U.S. taxation of international income earned from outbound investment and business operations. While enacted to rationalize the taxation of U.S.-based multinational corporations, these rules have an even more dramatic effect on non-corporate U.S. shareholders of controlled foreign corporations, such as individuals, trusts, S corporations and partnerships. These slides, which were originally presented as part of a Strafford group webinar, provide an overview of GILTI as applied to a non-corporate U.S. shareholder, interaction with Section 962, and review of other international tax reform changes relevant to individual shareholders in foreign businesses.
As originally enacted, the IC-DISC allowed exporters to defer income tax from profits on first $10 million of export sales. Prior to the phase-out of the EIE, which was completed after 2006, the IC-DISC received scant attention in the business world. But now it\'s moving into the spotlight.
This document brings together a set
of latest data points and publicly
available information relevant for

When a U.S. person is in an excess credit
position, the non-creditable foreign income
taxes increase the total tax burden on foreign-
source income beyond what it would have
been if only the United States had taxed that
income. Identify two strategies for reducing
excess credits.
USAco, a domestic corporation, is the wholly-
owned U.S. subsidiary of FORco, a foreign
corporation. The U.S.-Country F tax treaty
exempts interest payments from withholding
taxes. USAco’s financial statements appear as
follows:
2. In Cook v. Tait, 265 U.S. 47 (1924), what was
the taxpayer’s argument for why he should
not be subject to U.S. federal income tax? Why
did the Supreme Court reject his argument?
USAco is a domestic corporation that
manufactures products in the U.S. for
distribution in the U.S. and abroad. During the
current year, USAco derives a pre-tax profit of
$10 million, which includes $1 million of
foreign-source income derived from a country
X sales office that is considered an
unincorporated branch for U.S. tax purposes.
The country X corporate income tax rate is
50% and the U.S. tax rate is 35%.
Engco, a domestic corporation, produces
industrial engines at its U.S. plant for sale in
the United States and Canada. Engco also has a
plant in Canada that performs the final stages
of production with respect to the engines sold
in Canada. All of the output of the Canadian
plant is sold in Canada, whereas only one-
third of the output of the U.S. plant is shipped
to Canada. The Canadian operation is
classified as a branch for U.S. tax purposes.
During the current year, Engco’s total sales to
3. Canadian customers were $10 million, and the
related cost of goods sold is $7 million. The
average value of property, plant, and
equipment is $30 million at the U.S. plant, and
$5 million at the Canadian plant. Engco sells
all goods with title passing at the Canadian
plant in the case of Canadian sales and at the
U.S. plant in the case of U.S. sales. Pursco is a
domestic corporation that distributes
scientific equipment worldwide. During the
current year, Pursco had $100 million of sales,
a gross profit of $40 million, and incurred $30
million of selling, general and administrative
expenses (SG&A), for taxable income of $10
million. Pursco’s sales include $20 million of
sales to foreign customers. The gross profit on
these foreign sales was $10 million. Pursco
transferred title abroad on all foreign sales,
and therefore the entire $10 million is
classified as foreign-source income. A time
management survey was recently completed,
and indicates that employees devote 90% of
their time to the company’s domestic
operations and 10% to foreign operations.
Compensation expenses account for $20
4. million of the $30 million of total SG&A
expenses. Assume Pursco’s $10 million of
taxable income is subject to U.S. tax at a 35%
rate.

Hans, a citizen and resident of Argentina, is a
retired bank executive. Hans does not hold a
green card. At the start of Year 1, Hans paid $2.5
million for a 20-unit apartment complex located
in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Hans does not
actively manage the building, rather leases it to
an unrelated property management company
that subleases the building to the tenants. During
Year 1, Hans had rental income of $300,000 and
operating expenses (depreciation, interest,
insurance, etc.) of $220,000. On the advice of his
7. accountant, Hans made a Code Sec. 871(d)
election in Year 1. At the start of Year 2, Hans
sold the building for $350,000. Hans’ adjusted
basis in the building at that time was
$290,000. What are the U.S. tax consequences of
Hans’ U.S. activities?
USAco, a domestic corporation, is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FORco, a foreign corporation.
USAco’s only assets are cash of $200,000,
accounts receivable of $200,000 and its U.S.
manufacturing plant worth $500,000. USAco has
no liabilities. FORco sells USAco to an
independent U.S. buyer. Is FORco’s sale of USAco
subject to withholding under FIRPTA? Would
your answer change if USAco had a liability of
$300,000 in the form of a mortgage on the U.S.
manufacturing plant?
Cholati is a foreign corporation that produces fine
chocolates for sale worldwide. Cholati markets it
chocolates in the United States through a branch
sales office located in New York City. During the
8. current year, Cholati’s effectively connected
earnings and profits are $3 million, and its U.S.
net equity is $6 million at the beginning of the
year, and $4 million at the end of the year. In
addition, a review of Cholati’s interest expense
account indicates that it paid $440,000 of
portfolio interest to an unrelated foreign
corporation, $200,000 of interest to a foreign
corporation which owns 15% of the combined
voting power of Cholati’s stock, and $160,000 of

employed by a foreign-based computer
manufacturer. Erica’s job is to provide
technical assistance to customers who
purchase the company’s mainframe
computers. Many of Erica’s customers are
located in the United States. As a consequence,

days per year in the United States. In addition,
Erica spends about 20 vacation days per year
in Las Vegas, since she loves to gamble and
also enjoys the desert climate. Erica does not
possess a green card. Assume that the United
States has entered into an income tax treaty

Finco is a wholly owned Finnish
manufacturing subsidiary of Winco, a
domestic corporation that manufactures and
markets residential window products
throughout the world. Winco has been Finco’s
sole shareholder since Finco was organized in
1990. At the end of the current year, Winco
sells all of Finco’s stock to an unrelated
foreign buyer for $25 million. At that time,
Finco had $6 million of post-1986
undistributed earnings, and $2 million of
post-1986 foreign income taxes that have not
yet been deemed paid by Winco. Winco’s basis
in Finco’s stock was $5 million immediately
prior to the sale.
14. Assume Winco’s capital gain on the sale of
Finco’s stock is not subject to any foreign
taxes, and that the U.S. corporate tax rate is
35%. What are the U.S. tax consequences of
this sale for Winco?
Now assume that instead of selling the stock
of Finco, Winco completely liquidates Finco,
and receives property with a market value of
$25 million in the transaction. As in the
previous scenario, at the time of the
liquidation, Finco had $6 million of
accumulated earnings and profi ts, and $2
million of foreign income taxes that have not
yet been deemed paid by Winco. Assume that
Winco’s basis in Finco’s stock was $5 million
immediately prior to the liquidation, and that
the U.S. corporate tax rate is 35%. What are
the U.S. tax consequences of this liquidation
for Winco?
