  • Awesome podcast

    Just listened to Calum Dewar’s Pillar 2 commentary. Firstly, I don’t know why Doug thinks Calum is a Pillar of positivity (pun intended) - something is amiss here :) I personally cannot wait for France to assert taxing rights over German profits. Just a thought, wouldn’t it have been better to consider a reasonable labor and social benefits reform in Europe to improve the growth of the tax base rather than pretend it’s someone else’s fault and tax them? Anyway, Calum, I am sorry you got so o... more

  • Doug is awesome - great stuff

    Very informative podcast about international tax. It does assume you have a good baseline, but they’re usually good about connecting the dots for those of us generalists who need to stay abreast of international issues.

  • Best Tax Podcast

    This podcast series is the best for sure. It helps tax people manage their communications to senior management and audit committees. It would be great if the podcasts leave links to the underlying articles or newsletters. I would love to use them for references.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lost in FX Translation: The latest 987 regs
Q: So how do taxpayers take advantage of this notice, given there are no final regs yet?
Taxpayers can rely on the equity basis pool method and the expanded loss rules and hedging simplifications immediately for now, with CFC elections to be clarified in future guidance; taxpayers should assess their current work papers, taxable income projections, and whether to switch methods in light of 2025 and 2026 timelines.
Lost in FX Translation: The latest 987 regs
Q: And briefly, what is Section 987? Why should people care about this?
Section 987 is essentially the translation gain or loss for Cross-Border QBU transactions, capturing foreign currency effects when income passes through to a disregarded entity or partnership in a different currency; it determines when and how foreign currency gains or losses are recognized for tax.
Geopolitical reset: Stability and Agility in 2026
Q: What are the business implications of the geopolitical risk landscape in 2026?
Craig indicates that businesses should prepare for greater instability and prioritize flexibility and adaptability to navigate geopolitical challenges.
Geopolitical reset: Stability and Agility in 2026
Q: How do you stay current on geopolitical issues that impact businesses?

Pillar Two: Middle East Roundup
Q: How are governments in the GCC viewing Pillar 2?
Governments see Pillar 2 as both an opportunity to comply with global standards and a potential source of revenue.
