FIN 48: What your clients will expect from you
New FASB Interpretation 48 on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”) will soon become effective, setting new thresholds for recognizing and measuring the benefits of a company’s tax return positions in its financial statements. Implementation of these new rules will likely present a major undertaking for companies, requiring an examination of not only current but also prior reporting positions. The role of attorneys in this process will significantly expand as companies struggle to classify their tax return positions under these new standards. In addition, attorneys need to understand how these requirements for recognizing tax benefits on financial statements will affect planning for acquisitions and divestitures, as well as how the interpretation’s new disclosure provisions could create a road map for tax authorities to attack tax planning structures.
