IC-DISC: A Case Study American exporters are coming off one of their best years ever, shipping over $1 trillion worth of goods. In New Hampshire alone, foreign sales exceeded $400 million last year and projections suggest that companies will continue to see higher volumes of export orders in 2011 and 2012. This seminar will highlight a tax planning tool that offers substantial federal tax savings to your exporting clients by creating a books-only entity that pays tax on export income at a 15% dividends rate rather than a 35% income tax rate. Due to the extension of the so-called “Bush Tax Cuts” at the end of 2010, exporting clients can continue to take advantage of this tax planning opportunity by creating what is called an Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation ("IC-DISC"). Through a case study approach focusing on examples and financial modeling, this discussion will provide an overview of every aspect of IC-DISC tax-planning, formation, implementation and IRS compliance requirements.Those with exporting clients will walk away from this seminar with the tools necessary to determine whether an IC-DISC is an option worth considering and those without exporting clients will leave with a better understanding of an example of the kind of competitive tools and incentives that might be useful in the future as the New Hampshire economy gains a greater role in our global economy. Time: 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. Presenters: Jason E. Cole, Esq. and Kirk Leoni, Nathan Wechsler

State Tax Nexus and Income Apportionment: Understanding Nexus & Applying Apportionment Provisions in the New England States Wednesday, August 10, 2011 08:30 AM This 4 hour CPE session will provide an overview of the basic concepts of both income and sales tax nexus with a focus on the differences between the two standards; the safe harbor provisions P.L. 86-272; the rules and guidelines with respect to "physical presence" versus "economic presence"; as well as nexus through agency, attribution and affiliation. The discussion will focus on the specific nexus standards which apply to the New England states and offer practical advice in answering nexus questionnaires, identify traps for the unwary as well as touch upon resolving nexus disputes or challenging nexus assessments. The discussion will then shift into an overview of the apportionment rules in New Hampshire and other New England states as they apply to business income and highlight diffferences and potential conflicts among the states. The session will cover important cases, developments and exceptions to the general income apportionment rules to help tax practitioners understand and apply the income apportionment provisions of the New England States. In response to State budget crunches, legislatures and revenue agencies across the country are making changes in tax and administrative law with the goal of expanding their respective tax bases, increasing tax compliance and enhancing enforcement tools. One prominent move that is common across all states and only going to continue to develop going forward is the expansion of nexus, that is, redefining "doing business in a state" in ways which would require out-of-state businesses to report and pay tax in new and multiple jurisdictions. Consequently, managing state tax compliance and transactions is becoming more challenging for tax practitioners and their clients. Associated with the increased competition for tax revenue and struggles to accurately capture the ever-changing characteristics of cross-border business activity, properly apportioning income among states has also become increasingly complex. Adding to the complexity, different apportionment provisions among the states can lead to confusing and sometimes conflicting results. When: Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Location: New Hampshire Society of CPAs, 1750 Elm St., Manchester, NH Registration: Additional information and registration please visit the New Hampshire Society of CPAs website or contact the Society at 603.622.1999.
