2025 Tax Policy Outlook: A year for action
2025 marks the beginning of a year for action on a significant “must-pass” tax bill.
The constantly changing economic environment provides a number of challenges and opportunities for foreign-based multinational corporations (MNCs) with investments in the US as well as those considering US investments. The complexity of US tax law has a significant impact on US investments and, importantly, the return on investment. The complexity of the US tax system, coupled with the comparatively high US corporate income tax rate, have led foreign MNCs to look for opportunities to efficiently manage their US businesses while ensuring that their effective tax rate remains competitive.
PwC’s International Tax Services Inbound team has experience helping foreign-based MNCs develop cross-border tax planning strategies that meet their business and tax needs while maintaining a competitive effective tax rate. These strategies focus on areas such as cash registration or redeployment funds to required areas in a tax efficient manner, reducing tax costs on investment exit, establishing a tax effective structure when identifying acquisition opportunities and refinancing debt efficiently.
