Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporations, 1991

Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporations, 1991 by Daniel S. Holik he number of active Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporation (IC-DISC) T returns declined from 1, 185 for Tax Year 1987 (the last previous year for which. statistics were compiled) to 980 for Tax Year 1991, while."export gross receipts" reported by IC-DISC's declined from $3.6 billion to $3.5 billion duri ng the'same period (Figure A)[ I]. Reflecting the accumulation of tax-deferred income over several ' years, tax-deferred IC-DfSC income reported to shareholders increased from $0.3 billion for Tax Year 1987 to $0.5 billion for Tax Year 1991. The IC-DISC entity, created by the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, is a domestic corporation'that has one purpose-to provide a tax benefit to its U. S.- "parent" shareholders for the export of certain U.S. manufactured products or services [2]. The IC-DISC, specifically targeted to promote export activity by smaller businesses, replaced the then-existing Domestic International Sales Corporation (DISC). -The creation ~of the IC-DISC entity was a culmination of extensivediscussions, both within the United States and between the United'States and its major trading partners,'over the nature, form, and scope of export preferences incorporated within the Internal Revenue Code.

Holik is an economist with the Foreign Returns Analys'* S~ction. This article was prepared utider.the direction -of Chris Carson, Chief. s Generally, IC-DISC 's are created by their ~'parenf' shareholders to promote export of the parent's products ' and services. Figure presents the maJority ownership of active IC-DISC returns by entity type of shareholder for Tax Year 1991. By design, an IC-DISC provides a type of "tax deferral" benefit to its shareholders. No U. S. tax is imposed on certain types and amounts of IC-DISC income, i.e., payment of income tax is "deferred," until the income is either actually distributed or "deemed" distributed-to shareholders; the IC-DISC, itselfi-s-not taxed. However, the IC-DISC is required to: (1) calculate the tax-deferred portion of its "taxable income" each year; (2) accumulate the tax-deferred income for the current year and prior tax years in a separate account; and (3) report the total accumulated amount of tax-deferred income to its shareholders, each year. The IC-DISC's shareholders are then required.to.pay an interest charge on the tax that would have been imposed on the IC-DISC's taxable income if the addition of the IC-DISC's income would result in increased taxable inconfe on the shareholder's tax return. This interest charge i's determined using a compounded annual rate of interest equivalent to the average investment yield of U.S. Treasury bi Ils with maturi ties of 5 2 weeks [3]. IC-DISC taxable income that does not qualify for ' deferral from tax is "deemed" distributed to the ICDISC's shareholders as a dividend in the tax year in which the income is earned, regardless of whether the income is actually distributed to the shareholders or is retained by the IC-DISC [4]. For example, IC-DISC's must calculate and maintain separate gross receipts and taxable income amounts for each export transaction. If the total of certain "ex0ort gross receipts" is greater than $10 million for the tax year, taxable income derived from export gross receipts'Aove.this amount is not eligible for deferral, and. is deemed distributed to shareholders. Gross receipts Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporations, 1991 Figure B Active IC-DISC's by Type of Shareholder, Tax Year 1991 Type of shareholder IndMduals, partnerships, trusts, estates, or S Corporations No majority shareholder' (4.0%) cation requirements, primarily that: (1) at least 95 percent of the IC-DISC's total receipts are "qualified export receipts," and (2) at least 95 percent of the adjusted basis of the IC-DISC's total assets are "qualified assets." Qualified export receipts arise from the sale or exchange of qualified export property by an IC-DISC. In general, export property is property made, grown or extracted in the United States, by an entity other than an IC-DISC, for direct use or disposition outside the United States. IC-DISC's are also generally required to have only one class of stock, conform the IC-DISC's tax year to the tax year of the principal shareholder, usually a U.S. corporation, and maintain separate books and records. Taxdeferred IC-DISC income, income deemed but not actually distributed to shareholders during the current tax year, and certain other retained earnings amounts have to be kept in separate accounts in the IC-DISC's balance sheet. In Table 1, the sum of these accounts is the difference between Total assets (column 2) and Total liabilities (column 5); they comprise the shareholder's equity of ICDISC's. 'Also inctudes a few IC-DISC returns for which type of majority shareholder could not be determined. NOTE: Detail may not add to totals because of rounding. Distribution of IC-DISC's by Principal Product or SerAces Groups Figure C presents distributions of active IC-DISC returns by principal product or service group for Tax Years 1987 and 1991. For Tax Year 1991, about 91 percent of the 980 active IC-DISC returns were filed by companies exporting manufactured products. Within manufactured products, the electrical machinery, equipment, and supplies group was the most frequently reported class of export products. Other important manufactured product groups were nonelectrical machinery; fabricated metal products; chemicals and allied products; transportation equipment; and professional, scientific, and controlling instruments. A comparison of the data for Tax Years 1987 and 1991 by principal product groupings shows increases in the number of IC-DISC returns for the following manufactured product groups: textile mill products; apparel and other finished goods; lumber and wood products (except furniture); paper and allied products; chemicals and allied products; petroleum refining and related products; and fabricated metals. Together, these groups account for 28 percent of all returns filed for 199 1, up from 18 percent of the returns filed for 1987. The number of IC-DISC returns filed for all of the "other" manufactured product groups, as well as those for the nonmanufactured products and services groups, declined for 1991 compared to 1987. Assets, receipts (including total export gross receipts of the IC-DISC's and related U.S. persons), deductions, 47 amounts over the $10 million limitation are defined as "excess qualified export receipts"-a limitation intended to restrict IC-DISC benefits to smaller businesses. Other types of income not eligible for tax-deferral are certain gains from the sale or exchange of assets; one-half of ICDISC taxable income attributable to military property; "international boycott incorne;" illegal bribes and kickbacks; and foreign investment attributable to "producer's loans." For Tax Year 1991, IC-DISC's reported $222 million of taxable income, of which $39 million was attributable to "excess qualified export receipts." A total of $54 million was deemed distributed for Tax Year 1991 [51 . After calculating "deemed" distributions and subtracting them from IC-DISC taxable income, and after payment of actual distributions (if any) to shareholders, the income remaining is considered to be tax-deferred and is reported to shareholders on Schedule K, Shareholder's Statement of IC-DISC Distributions. Accumulated taxdeferred IC-DISC income reported to shareholders increased from $267 million for Tax Year 1987 to $530 million for Tax Year 1991. Parent corporations (or other taxpayers) form an ICDISC by filing a Form 4876-A, Election to be Treated as an Interest- Charge DISC.

Legislative History The Domestic International Sales Corporation (DISC) was first proposed in the Trade Act of 1970, and was subsequently enacted in the Revenue Act of 1971. The DISC prograin was designed to provide a tax benefit to * U. S. taxpayers striving to export domestically-manufactured goods and services to foreign countries, thereby stimulating U. S. domestic employment and economic growth. In addition, the DISC program was, in part, a response to export subsidy policies enacted by foreign governments. As Secretary of the Treasury John B. Connally noted in a memorandum introducing the DISC program to U. S. businessmen: "The DISC legislation provides a straightforward method of treating exports for tax purposes in a manner more equivalent to that available to many foreign competitors. These provisions are designed especially to encourage smaller businesses, which may have had little or noexport experience, to export" [6]. From its inception, the DISC program was controversial. Domestic criticisms centered around whether there was a need for an additional tax benefit for domestic companies, and doubts about whether the DISC program could or would actually stimulate export activity. At the international level, several foreign governments that subscribed to the General Agreement on Trades and Tariffs (GATT) used the forum provided by GATT to raise questions about whether the DISC program was an illegal export subsidy under GATT rules, since the initial DISC legislation essentially provided an indefinite deferral of tax on DISC income. To address complaints about the DISC and income tax practices of other foreign governments, expert panels were created under GATT auspices during the late 1970's and investigations conducted. In general, the panel's reports adopted in December 1981 held that the DISC and the income tax practices of several other foreign governments did, indeed, contradict GATT standards for export pricing. The DISC legislation was amended several times during the 1970's, as GATT discussions and investigations ensued. While the U. S. Government did not officially acknowledge that the-DISC-mechanism was--in-violation of standards, it recognized that the controversy over -GAT the deferral of taxable income did need to be addressed. Finally, in the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (DRA'84), the DISC program was modified in accordance with the GATT-regulations adopted.in-1981, and-the IC-DISC entity was created [7]. At the same time the IC-DISC entity was created, DRA'84 also created another entity targeted to provide tax benefits to larger U. S. businesses that wished to export goods and services-the Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) . The FSC was intended to benefit large businesses that had qualified for benefits under the DISC program, but did not qualify for benefits under the revised IC-DISC legislation [8]. In addition, DRA'84 also required that the Treasury Department submit regular reports to Congress on the operation of the IC-DISC and FSC programs [9]. Explanation of Selected Terms Actual Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions from the IC-DISC's "earnings and profits" actually paid to shareholders of the IC-DISC. Adjusted IC-DISC,Income Subject to Deferral Computation - This represented the IC-DISC's taxable income after subtracting certain amounts not eligible for tax deferral (e.g., amounts deemed distributed). For Tax Year 1991, adjusted IC-DISC income subject to the tax deferral computation equaled IC-DISC taxable income minus the sum of. (1) gross interest from "producer's loans"; (2) certain gains from the sale or exchange of assets; (3) one-half of IC-DISC taxable income attributable to military property; and (4) IC-DISC taxable income attributable to 48 Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporations, 1991 "export gross receipts," defined below, greater than $10 million. The calculation of adjusted IC-DISC income subject to tax deferral was the first step in the computation of the amounts deemed distributed and current-year taxdeferred income (both terms are defined below). Amounts Deemed Distributed - This was the portion of the IC-DISC's "earnings and profits" that was not eligible for tax-deferral and, hence, was characterized as a fully taxable dividend to the IC-DISC's shareholder(s). For Tax Year 1991, amounts deemed distributed were the sum of: gross interest from "producer's loans"; certain gains from the sale or exchange of assets; one-half of ICDISC taxable income attributable to military property; ICDISC taxable income attributable to export gross receipts greater than $ 10 million; international boycott income; illegal bribes and kickbacks; and foreign investment attributable to producer's loans. In addition, IC-DISC's having all corporations except "S" corporations as shareholders were required to report one-seventeenth of their adjusted IC-DISC income subject to deferral as an amount deemed distributed. Current- Year Tax-Deferred Income -This amount represented the IC-DISC's taxable income after all current year taxable income amounts deemed distributed under Internal Revenue Code section 995(b)(1) were subtracted. Export Gross Receipts - Export gross receipts of the IC-DISC represented "qualified export receipts" from: (1) the sale, lease, or rental of export property;. (2) services related and subsidiary to any qualified sale, lease, or rental of export property; (3) engineering or architectural services for construction projects located outside the United States; and (4) export management services provided to other unrelated IC-DISC's to aid in promoting qualified export receipts. For IC-DISC's that acted as commission agents, export gross receipts included the total receipts on which the commission was earned, as well as the commission. Export gross receipts do not include passive income (dividends, interest, or capital or ordinary gains on sale of business property) received by IC-DISC's. Export Promotion Expenses - These were expenses (excluding income taxes) incurred by an IC-DISC to advance the sale, lease, or other distribution of export property for use, consumption, or distribution outside the United States. Export Property - The IC-DISC's export property was inventory and property held for sale or lease which: (1) had been manufactured, produced, grown, or extracted in the United States by a "person" other than an IC-DISC; (2) was held primarily for sale or lease in the ordinary course of business for direct use, consumption, or disposition outside the United States; and (3) had, at the time of sale or lease by the IC-DISC, not more than 50 percent of its fair market value attributable to imported articles. IC-DISC Taxable Income - This was the IC-DISC's net income minus statutory special deductions (i.e., the "net operating loss deduction" and intercorporate dividends-received deduction). IC-DISC taxable income was computed to determine: (1) the IC-DISC's "earnings and profits" considered "deemed" distributed to the shareholders of the IC-DISC for the current taxable year; and (2) the interest charge on tax that would have been imposed on IC-DISC income had it not been subject to deferral. Producer's Loans - This qualified asset generally consisted of loans made out of the IC-DISC's accumulated tax-deferred IC-DISC income to its parent company or any other U. S. person engaged in manufacturing, producing, growing, or extracting export property. A producer's loan must have been designated as such, have been evidenced by a note, have had a stated maturity not to exceed 5 years, and have been attributed to assets used in export production. - If a producer's loan was renewed, it had to requalify at the time of renewal. A producer's loan did not have to be traced to a specific investment by the domestic borrower, but was subject to certain limitations to assure that it did not exceed the investment in assets that could have been attributable to production for export. Qualified Assets - Qualified export assets included any of the following: (1) export property; (2) assets used in performing engineering or architectural services; (3) accounts receivable produced, in general, by export transactions; (4) working capital; (5) producer's loan obligations; (6) certain stocks or securities held by an ICDISC; and (7) certain obligations issued or insured by the U.S. Export-Import Bank or the Foreign Credit Insurance Association; and (8) certain other deposits. Qualified Export Receipts - See export gross receipts. Related U.S. Persons - IC-DISC related U.S. persons were: (1) individuals, who w6re citizens or residents of the United States and who controlled the IC-DISC; (2) domestic partnerships, estates, or trusts that controlled the IC-DISC; (3) domestic corporations that controlled the ICDISC; and (4) domestic corporations that were controlled by the same person or persons that controlled the ICDISC. Control meant direct or indirect ownership of more than 50 percent of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote in an IC-DISC or other domestic corporation. Under the stock attribution rules of Internal Revenue Code section 267(c), stock held by related family members is considered to be held as if the family is one shareholder. Tax-Deferred IC-DISC Income Reported to Shareholders - This amount was reported on Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedule K, Shareholders Statement of IC-DISC Distribu49 Interest-Charge Domestic International- Sales Corporations, 1991 tions. An interest charge on the tax that would otherwise have been paid currently on this income amount was computed by IC-DISC shareholders on Form 8404, Computation of Interest Charge on DISC-Related Deferred Tax Liability. Total Qualified Export Receipts and ~Vonqualified Receipts - The sum of qualified export receipts and nonqualified receipts was used by the IC-DISC as a starting point for the computation of IC-DISC's net and taxable incomes. For IC-DISC's that acted as commission agents, total qualified export receipts and nonqualified receipts exclude the total receipts upon which the commission was earned, and therefore represent only the commission amounts. Total qualified export receipts and nonqualified receipts include passive income (dividends, interest, capital or ordinary gains) amounts received by IC-DISC's. IC-DISC passive income amounts may be characterized as either qualified export receipts or nonqualified gross receipts. on Schedule N without reporting any "engineering ser- * vices income" on Schedule B, Gross Income. In addition, products and services reported by.taxpayers on specific returns were reviewed for consistency with the major products and. services group classification. Since an ICDISC is intended to serve solely as an export subsidy mechanism for U. S. taxpayers, certain business activities, such as manufacturing, are'not applicable' to an IC-DISC. Consequently, IC-DISC returns reporting manufacturing as the principal business activity were reviewed and reconciled with product and other information. As an example' an IC-DISC return reporting the manufacture of farm machinery and equipment as the principal business ' activity would have been reviewed to ascertain if a more appropriate principal business activity was the wholesaling of farm machinery and equipment.

[3] The interest charge is computed by IC-DISC shareholders on Form 8404, Computation of Interest Charge on DISC-Related Deferred Tax Liability. As an example, for Tax Year 199 1, the interest charge to an IC-DISC shareholder filing a full calendar year return was calculated using an interest rate of approximately 6.85 percent. [4] For additional information on actual and deemed distributions of IC-DISC income, see the Explanation of Selected Terms section of this article. 151 Amounts deemed distributed shown in Figure A and Table 1 include amounts deemed distributed under Internal Revenue sections 995(b)(1) (from current year taxable income) and 995(b)(2) (generally from prior year taxable income). In general, these deemed distributions included incorne amounts not eligible for tax-deferral and distributions from IC-DISC's that had not qualified or revoked their election.

Dati-Solirces abd-Unititio n-sForm 1120 IC-DISC returns, having accounting periods ending between July 1991 and June 1992, filed during Calendar Years 1991, 1992, and 1993, we're included in the statistics. The data presented are adjusted estimates, and exclude "inactive" IC-DISC returns. An IC-DISC was considered to be inactive if no receipts, deductions, income, or distributions were reported on the return. The Tax Year 1991 IC-DISC study was designed to include the entire population of IC-bISC returns; however, certain returns were unavailable for the statistics. The complete 1991 IC-DISC study file included 969 returns, adjusted to reflect an estimated population of approximately 1,100 active and inactive IC-DISC returns. Because the data were based upon all returns available, sample error was not a limitation. With regard to nonsampling error, some of the data were inconsistently reported. Where possible, inconsistencies in the data were adjusted to reflect provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and taxpayer intentions. The products and services classification system used in the 1991 IC-DISC study was generally based upon IRS instructions provided to the taxpayer for completion of Schedule N, Export Gross Receipts of the IC-DISC and Related U.S. Persons. Products and services reported by a taxpayer on each specific return were reviewed for consistency with product information provided on other schedules and taxpayer attachments, and the principal business activities described on the return. For example, the return was reviewed if a taxpayer reported engineering services 50 Interest-Charge Domestic International Sales Corporations, 1991 [7] In general, the GATT regulations held that the indefinite deferral of tax on DISC income would not be considered to be an illegal export subsidy if appropriate interest charges were collected. Hence, the DISC program came to be modified as the "Interest Charge" (IC)-DISC program. [8] The FSC mechanism provides an exemption, rather than a deferral, of certain income from U.S. tax. Statistics on FSC's are the subject of a later SOI Bulletin article.
