Multinational corporation wants to understand the changes to tax
law - they have a subsidiary in France with $100,000 of E&P as
of December 31, 2017 and $100,000 of cash, those are the only items
on the balance sheet. The French subsidiary acts as a distributor
for the US parent in France, including providing installation and
repair services for its customers in France. There are two
employees who work out of their homes. The French subsidiary earns
$50,000/year. Explain the new international provisions in the tax
law that will apply to Multinational Corporation with respect to
their French subsidiary. Are they allowed to keep their cash in the
French subsidiary at the end of 2017? Does it makes sense to?
