However, many managers may be less familiar about how they can sometimes reduce their tax bill by implementing a "cost-sharing agreement" between departments that transfer intangible products or services internally. As the name suggests, one. B cost-sharing agreement between a U.S.-based parent branch and a U.S.-based subsidiary determines the distribution of intangible capital costs developed by the parent company and the subdivision between them. A company`s specialized production methods, product production licence fees and marketing techniques are typical examples of these intangible assets. On the other hand, with respect to cost-sharing agreements with foreign-based companies, the federal product has generally positioned itself using the transfer by IRFONTE (15%), pis/COFINS-Import (9.65%), CIDE (10%) Taxed. AND the ISS. Although decisions generally find that they have not found an effective distribution in some cases, this is a reason for the application of taxes. Conversely, the federal product recognized the deduction or the right of credit for these expenses and expenses. The crucial point is that this required buy-in payment has nothing to do with the appropriateness of the cost-sharing agreement. In the absence of a cost-sharing agreement, the Under would be required to make an annual payment of $30 million for the party`s revenues generated by the parent company`s intangible assets prior to the purchase of assets. Since the present value of these payments is $300 million, the same amount as the buy-in amount, the amount (the present value of payments) that the party made under this intangible pre-purchase account is not affected, whether or not the parent company and the cost-sharing agreement have been concluded. Since subs repurchase payments to the parent company are reduced despite the party`s obligation to pay the buy-in, the cost-sharing agreement will remain attractive.
l) Transitional rule. A cost-sharing agreement is considered a qualified cost-sharing agreement within the meaning of this section; if the agreement was a good faith cost-sharing agreement before 1 January 1996, in accordance with the provisions of p. 1.482 to 7T (as included in edition 26 CFR, part one, revised from April 1, 1995), only if the agreement is amended, if necessary, to comply with the provisions of this section until December 31, 1996. (D) Other bases for measuring expected benefits. Other basic elements for measuring expected benefits may be appropriate in certain circumstances, but only to the extent that a reasonable link between the valuation base used is expected to be the additional revenue or costs saved by the use of covered intangible assets. For example, a cost allocation on the basis of workers` compensation would be considered unreliable, unless there was a link between the amount of compensation and the expected income of controlled participants from the use of covered intangible assets.
