"U.S. to Push for Minimum Standard for CFC Rules"

Tax Notes Today

Rocco Femia was quoted regarding the OECD's focus on better coordinating their 2015 deliverables during a Georgetown University Law Center forum, "BEPS, CFC Rules, Patent Boxes, and EU Law." With regard to the OECDs next steps, Femia said he would welcome a more coordinated approach across action items, "So, for example, why spill so much ink on hybrid mismatch arrangements if we're going to take on a big project on interest deductibility that might make most of that ink on hybrid mismatch arrangements sort of moot," Femia said. "I think there's a real danger of having lots of recommendations and lots of reports that don't quite fit together." Femia said that, at times, the 2014 action items were uncoordinated.
