Short Statement: For transfers after December 31, 2017, P.L. 115-97, section 14102 repealed the active trade or business exception under section 367. Transfers of tangible property (other than certain stock transfers) are subject to full gain recognition under the general rule of section 367(a)(1). In addition, section 91 of the Internal Revenue Code was added to provide rules on transfers of foreign branch assets to foreign corporations requiring the transferor to include a “Transferred Loss Amount” as income. For transfers in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, section 14221 of P.L. 115-97 revised the definition of intangible property under section 936(h)(3)(B) subject to section 367(d) treatment on the transfer of such property to include goodwill, going concern value, workforce in place and any other item the value or potential value of which is not attributable to tangible property or the services of an individual. The definition in section 936(h)(3)(B) was subsequently re-designated (without substantive change) as section 367(d)(4) by section 401(d)(1)(D)(viii)(I) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018, P.L. 115-141. Changes have been made to the form, creating a reduction of burden of 1,587 hours.
