Question: Coco,Inc. ( Coco ) , a U . S . C - Corporation with a calendar year end, manufactures widgets in its plant in Saugatuck,

Coco,Inc. (Coco), a U.S. C-Corporation with a calendar year end, manufactures widgets in its plant in Saugatuck, Michigan. On January 1,2022, Coco forms a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom (UK), Pub Limited (Pub), which also has a calendar year end and is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. tax purposes. Pub purchases widgets manufactured by Coco in the United States and markets, sells, and distributions these products throughout the UK.
In calendar year 2022, Pub generated $2,500,000 of foreign-source taxable income, under U.S. tax principles, and paid $450,000 of U.K. corporate income tax, resulting in CFC tested income of $2,050,000. For the record, Coco is not a U.S. shareholder in any other foreign corporation. Also, for calendar year 2022, Pubs Qualified Asset Business Investment (QABI) was $500,000, and no interest expense deduction was taken into account in determining Pubs foreign-source taxable income.
In calendar year 2022, Cocos deduction eligible income was $120,000,000, and its foreign-derived deduction eligible income $24,000,000. Also, for calendar year 2022, Cocos Qualified Asset Business Investment (QABI) was $800,000,000.
Assume that Cocos 2022 corporate income tax return only includes deduction eligible income and its Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) inclusion from Pub, plus the IRC Section 78 gross-up. Furthermore, no deductible U.S.-based expenses are allocated and apportioned against the GILTI inclusion. Also, assume the flat U.S. corporate income tax rate is 21 percent.
(a.) Calculate Cocos Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) inclusion and its Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (FDII) deduction, including U.S. taxable income and the U.S. residual tax, if any, due after taking an IRC Section 960 deemed foreign tax credit.
(b.) If Coco were to pay a dividend in calendar year 2022 and one of its shareholders was a foreign individual residing in a country that does not have a bilateral income tax treaty with the United States, are there any U.S. withholding tax requirements with respect to this dividend payment? Please explain.
