Event Synopsis:

The IRS issued Uncertain Tax Position (UTP) disclosure requirements in an effort to increase certainty, consistency, and efficiency in tax administration. This guidance affects corporate taxpayers, whose assets exceed $100 million, to report UTPs as part of their tax return starting from tax year 2010.

Compliance with the new reporting requirements will be a significant undertaking for many organizations, not to mention the challenges of identifying key tax positions and how they are disclosed. How it affects tax planning and financial reporting are also key issues that need to be paid attention to.

Affected companies will need to understand the implications of this new standard so as to make the necessary measures to address both compliance and corporate issues. They will, in many cases, need to rethink their disclosure and reporting models.
