Abstract: This document contains proposed regulations that would generally eliminate country-by-country reporting by a regulated investment company (RIC) to its shareholders of foreign source income that the RIC takes into account and foreign taxes that it pays. RICs will continue to report this information directly to the IRS. The regulations will affect certain RICs that pay foreign taxes and the shareholders of those RICs.
