Event Synopsis:

One of the biggest tax breaks for manufacturing firms, the ‘Manufacturing Deduction’, is available under Section 199 of the tax code. Some manufacturers may not be entitled to claim this tax deduction. Hence, to eliminate the confusion, the Large Business and International (LB&I) division of the IRS has issued new guidance for auditors.

The Knowledge Group assembled a panel of thought leaders and professional speakers that will provide an overview of the changes in the Rule and help companies and their counsel understand which entities can claim the Manufacturing Deduction and under what conditions and circumstances under Section 199 Rule in Manufacturing Contracts.

Key topics include:
- Section 199 Overview
- Qualified Production Activities Income (QPAI)
- Key Provisions on Domestic Production Activities Deduction
- New IRS Guidelines
- Tax Regulations
- Two Key Certifications
- Manufacturers Eligibility
- Benefits and Burdens
- IRS Audit Guides: Insights
