"Secretary Yellen announced that we will engage robustly to address both Pillars of the OECD project, and that the United States is no longer advocating for 'safe harbor' implementation of Pillar 1," a U.S. Treasury official said.

ROME/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The world's financial leaders agreed on Friday to maintain expansionary policies to help economies survive the effects of COVID-19, and committed to a more multilateral approach to the twin coronavirus and economic crises.

Coke, Whirlpool Keep Tax Court Losses Off the Books - WSJ
When court rulings and tax regulations go against them, companies have an effective way to minimize or defer the bottom-line costs. They don't count them, and announce that they will beat the government in the future.

PFIC Testing—Significant New Guidance but Some… | Fenwick & West LLP
On December 4, 2020, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) published final and proposed regulations providing guidance on the passive foreign investment company (PFIC) rules under Internal Revenue Code sections 1291, 1297 and 1298.

Low-Wage Tax Penalty Risks Sparking Contract Labor Boom
A Democratic plan to slap tax penalties on companies with too many low paid workers would drive larger firms to outsource more of their labor unless Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden can plug potential holes in his plan, economists warned.
Wyden's proposal would impose a 5% penalty on a corporation's payroll for paying wages below a yet-to-be-specificed threshold. It's an alternative to the $15 minimum wage hike shot down by the Senate parliamentarian. Democrats are running against the clock as they push to pass a pandemic relief bill by mid-March.
