IRS removes Cuba from list of countries with foreign tax restrictions
The IRS has removed Cuba from the so-called “IRC §901 blacklist” of foreign countries from which US taxpayers may not be entitled to a foreign tax credit. Removal of Cuba from this list means that US taxpayers are now entitled to the benefit of a foreign tax credit to any income attributable to Cuba. Income earned in Cuba through a controlled foreign corporation will no longer be Subpart F income barred from deferral treatment under IRC §952(a)(5).
The restrictions are lifted as of December 21, 2015, based upon certification by the Secretary of State that Cuba is no longer a country described in IRC §901(j)(2)(A). That section applies to any country with whom the US does not maintain diplomatic relations or that is designated by the State Department as a country that supports international terrorism.
