Coordinated Issue Papers - LMSB |
|
A major objective of the IRS Large and Mid-Size Business Division's Issue Management Strategy is to identify, coordinate and resolve complex and significant industry wide issues by providing guidance to field examiners and ensuring uniform application of the law. Uniformity is achieved through the issuance of coordinated issue papers, which, following review by the Office of Chief Counsel, are issued by the Commissioner, Large and Mid-Size Business Division. Although these papers are not official pronouncements on the issues, they do set forth the Service's current thinking.

The Petroleum Industry Coordinated Issue on North Sea IDC Transition Rule was decoordinated effective 7/13/2009. The North Sea IDC transition rule was applicable to intangible drilling costs related to a license for Netherlands or United Kingdom North Sea development acquired on or before 12/31/1985. Most, if not all, of the development work on these licenses has been completed. Accordingly the issue has been decoordinated.

COORDINATED ISSUES - LISTED TRANSACTIONS
Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) 4.51.2 provides that a listed transaction will be treated as a coordinated issue as of the date the listing notice is issued. A listed transaction is one that the IRS has determined to be structured for the significant purpose of tax avoidance or evasion. A memorandum from the responsible IRS Division Commissioner will be issued regarding the coordination of the issue, and a coordinated issue paper will be prepared and issued at a later date.
