Controlled foreign corporation (CFC)
Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-000964
A foreign corporation in which U.S. shareholders own more than 50% of the voting power or value of the stock. U.S. tax law requires these shareholders to include certain types of the CFC's income, known as 'Subpart F income,' in their gross income, even if it is not distributed. This rule prevents U.S. taxpayers from deferring income by accumulating it in foreign corporations.
