Under the regulations, which apply to corporations filing a consolidated tax return, corporations are entitled to one and only one tax loss with respect to a single economic loss. On According to Pamela Olson, Assistant Treasury Secretary for Tax Policy, “we have issued these new regulations in proposed form in order to allow time to solicit and receive taxpayers comments before final regulations are issued. We recognize this is an extremely complex topic and we look forward to receiving input from affected taxpayers in order to ensure that the rules work as they are intended." The text of the proposed regulations is attached. |
