CFC rules are tax regulations designed to prevent domestic taxpayers from deferring U.S. taxes by shifting income to foreign corporations that they control. These rules apply when U.S. shareholders own a significant percentage of a foreign corporation, typically defined as more than 50% of the voting power or value. The aim is to ensure that income earned by these foreign corporations is taxed sooner rather than later, reducing opportunities for tax avoidance through offshore entities.
