Abstract

A recent chief counsel memorandum held that U.S. - source interest income of a foreign corporation is income effectively connected with that corporation's lending business. This article evaluates the analysis of the memorandum and concludes that its position is incorrect under current law.

Keywords: effectively connected income, U.S. trade or business, lending business

JEL Classification: K34
