FAQ
Foreign ownership refers to the ownership of a portion of a country's assets (businesses, natural resources, property, bonds, equity etc.) by individuals who are not citizens of that country or by companies whose headquarters are not in that country.
A U.S. entity that owns at least 10% of a foreign corporation may be considered the owner of a controlled foreign corporation (CFC), depending on the residency of the remaining shareholders. A U.S. company that owns at least 10% of a CFC is subject to additional U.S. tax reporting requirements.
