摘要

2019年3月25日,美国财务会计准则委员会(FASB)发布了关于所得税(主题740)的建议会计准则更新(修订)。根据公认会计原则,迫切需要扩大跨国集团(MNCs)的披露要求。许多跨国公司在过去几十年里采用了越来越激进、有时甚至有问题的利润转移结构,这种结构严重背离了法律形式和现实,因此存在重大的税收风险。向FASB董事会提交的这封信讨论了:•利润转移结构的背景,•CbCR的必要性- CbCR如何使利益相关者受益而不会给跨国公司带来不当的合规问题,•需要就与新段740-10-50-10A(国内和国外持续经营的收入或损失的分类)相关的地点提供指导,以及•关于未确认税收利益的披露。这封信的主要信息是,跨国公司目前在美国和国外的一系列税收风险下运营,CbCR信息对于投资者和其他财务报告用户的评估至关重要:•重大税收评估的可能性,•激进的税收结构可能产生的声誉和其他商业风险,以及•管理层在税收问题上的相对保守或激进。这封信鼓励FASB在制定适当的会计准则方面发挥领导作用,以提高财务报告中企业税收的透明度。如果FASB不发挥领导作用,包括政府、国际机构和私营部门实体在内的其他机构将设计要求增加企业税收披露的全球标准。

Submission Letter to FASB Board Concerning Income Taxes (Topic 740) Proposed Accounting Standards Update (Revised) March 25, 2019
On March 25, 2019, the FASB released Proposed Accounting Standards Update (Revised) concerning Income Taxes (Topic 740). There is a critical need to expand required disclosures for multinational groups (MNCs) under generally accepted accounting principles. Many MNCs carry material tax risks from their adoption over the past several decades of increasingly aggressive and sometimes questionable profit-shifting structures that seriously divorce legal form and reality. This letter submission to the FASB Board discusses: • Background on profit-shifting structures, • Need for CbCR – How CbCR would benefit stakeholders without creating undue compliance issues for MNCs, • Need for guidance on location in connection with new paragraph 740-10-50-10A (disaggregation of income or loss from continuing operations between domestic and foreign), and • Disclosures Concerning Unrecognized Tax Benefits. This letter’s primary message is that multinational corporations currently operate under a range of U.S. and foreign tax exposures, and CbCR information is critical for investors and other users of financial reports to assess: • The potential for material tax assessments, • Possible reputational and other commercial risks that could arise from aggressive tax structures, and • Management’s relative conservatism or aggressiveness with respect to tax matters. The letter encourages FASB to be a leader in developing appropriate accounting standards to increase corporate tax transparency in financial reports. If FASB does not take a leadership role, others including governments, international bodies, and private sector entities will design the global standards mandating increased corporate tax disclosures.
