The IRS has corrected the foreign tax credit regulations (TD 9959) that were published on January 4, 2022 (see Tax Alert 2022-0040). The corrected regulations (i) provide relief from the "cost recovery" requirement; (ii) change the rules for allocating and apportioning foreign tax imposed on disregarded sales of property; and (iii) make several other technical changes to the foreign tax credit and GILTI high-tax exception regulations. The text of the corrections is available here and here. A Tax Alert is forthcoming.
