How Does Foreign Subsidiary Liquidation Tax Counsel Plan Repatriation?
Section 332 gives the parent nonrecognition on the liquidation of an 80-percent-controlled subsidiary, but it does not survive the border intact. Where a foreign subsidiary liquidates into its US parent, the regulations under § 367(b) require the parent to include the all earnings and profits amount attributable to its stock as a deemed dividend, so the nonrecognition applies to the asset basis step while the accumulated earnings are taxed. Which earnings are left to tax is the first question. Previously taxed earnings and profits from a § 951 or § 951A inclusion are not taxed again, and the § 245A deduction may apply to the dividend portion for a corporate shareholder, so the computation depends on the subsidiary’s inclusion history rather than on its book retained earnings. The liquidating entity has its own exposure. Section 336 treats the distribution as a sale of the assets at fair market value, which matters where the subsidiary holds US real property interests subject to FIRPTA withholding, and local law adds its own exit requirements — creditor notice, tax clearance and deregistration — each of which must be cleared before the entity can be struck from the register.

Regulatory enforcement by the SEC, CFTC, state banking authorities, and the OCC has accelerated, creating material risk for both direct investors and those investing through fintech platforms. The distinction between regulated and unregulated fintech products, the role of state money transmitter laws, and federal securities requirements fundamentally affect your ability to recover funds if something goes wrong.

How Long Do You Have to File a Breach of Trust Claim in New York?
In New York, strict deadlines govern breach of trust claims, and which statute of limitations applies can determine whether your case survives. New York does not apply a single deadline to all trust-related claims; the applicable period depends on the relief you seek and the nature of the breach. For beneficiaries who discover wrongdoing years later, exceptions such as the open repudiation doctrine, fraud-based discovery provisions, and tolling rules may still preserve your right to act. Our attorneys can assess how these rules apply to your specific claim.
