WINTER 2019
JEFFERY M KADET
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF LAW TAX LLM PROGRAM

++++++++++++

COURSE DESCRIPTION
An introduction to the practice of US tax law with respect to the conduct by US persons of business and investment outside the US either directly or through non-US entities. This course seeks to strike a balance between the technical detail within the US tax law and the practical application of that law to typical business and investment situations. The goals of the course include:
• Achieving familiarity and understanding of the provisions of US tax law relevant to "outbound" investment
• Developing skill in applying these provisions of US law to practical business and investment situations
• Developing an ability to examine an outbound business or investment situation and to identify relevant US tax issues
• Learning to analyze the various US issues in order to arrive at conclusions and recommended courses of action
• Developing sensitivity to identify opportunities and risks
The course includes developments such as GILTI, FDII, and the BEAT that were enacted in late 2017 within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The material is generally current as of January 2019.
