Data Release
Foreign Sales Corporation Statistics for 1987
Foreign Sales Corporations (FSC's) filed 2,613 income tax returns for Tax Year 1987. A FSC is incorporated in a foreign country or U.S. possession for the purpose of exporting U.S. products. A FSC is entitled to certain tax benefits. In particular, a portion of the "foreign trade income" of a FSC is exempt from U.S. taxation. (Foreign trade income is income attributable to the sale or lease of export property outside the United States and the performance of various types of export services outside the United States.) For 1987, FSC's reported "Schedule P gross receipts" of $84.3 billion and net exempt income of $2.1 billion. (Schedule P gross receipts includes gross receipts that the FSC and its related suppliers earned from transactions with third parties.) FSC's were subject to a total U.S. tax of $0.5 billion on income subject to tax ("taxable income") of $1.3 billion.
Most FSC returns for 1987 were filed for companies which exported manufactured products. As indicated in Table 1, returns for FSC's exporting manufactured products accounted for 88 percent of all FSC returns filed. Classified by Schedule P gross receipts, the largest product groups were transportation equipment ($23.2 billion); machinery, except electrical machinery ($13.4 billion); chemicals and allied products ($12.2 billion); and electrical machinery, equipment and supplies ($9.7 billion). Table 2 contains data for FSC returns classified by the country of incorporation of the FSC. A FSC can only be incorporatedin selected foreign countries and U.S. possessions. The largest number of FSC's were incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands (65 percent of all FSC's), Guam (15 percent), Jamaica (8 percent), and Barbados (6 percent). When a FSC engagesin a transaction with a related party, the FSC and the related party must allocate the income they receive from the transaction using one of three pricing methods. The three possible pricing methods that can be used are (1) 1.83 percent of gross receipts method (income of the FSC equals 1.83 percent ofreceipts derived from the sale), (2) 23 percent of combined taxable income method (income of the FSC equals 23 percent of the combined taxable income earned from the transaction by both the FSC and the related party) and (3) Internal Revenue Code section 482 method (income of the FSC equals the amount that the FSC can independently justify on the basis of its sales activity). Different pricing methods can be used for different transactions. Table 3 presents data classified by the pricing method used for intercompany transactions. The method most often used was the 23 percent ofcombined taxable income method. Of the 2,324 FSC income tax returns showing the pricing method used for intercompany transactions, 1,412 FSC's (61 percent) reported using only this method. Another 384 FSC's used only the 1.83 percent of gross receipts method (17 percent). Although only 317 FSC's (14 percent) reported using both the combined taxable income and gross receipts methods, these FSC's included many of the larger FSC's, accounting for 61 percent of total gross receipts for all FSC's, as opposed to 26 percent of gross receipts for FSC's using only the combined taxable income method and 10 percent of gross receipts for FSC's using only the gross receipts method.
