IRS delays application of Section 987 regulations for additional year

On June 13, 2018, the IRS announced (Notice 2018-57) that it intends to amend the final regulations under Section 987, as well as certain related provisions of the temporary regulations under that section, to delay the applicability date of those regulations by one additional year. The IRS had previously delayed the application of the Section 987 regulations by one year in Notice 2017-57 — after the regulations were identified in Notice 2017-38 (along with seven other regulations) as significant tax regulations requiring additional review under Executive Order 13789. A Tax Alert is forthcoming.
