  • Develop and execute tax-efficient cash repatriation strategies from foreign subsidiaries, considering E&P, basis, foreign tax credits, and withholding tax implications to optimize global liquidity.

Oversee global transfer pricing documentation (Master File, Local Files, CbCR).
  • Monitor and assess the impact of global tax reforms (e.g., OECD Pillar One and Pillar Two initiatives) and develop proactive strategies to mitigate adverse effects and capitalize on new opportunities.
  • Conduct in-depth tax research on highly complex and novel tax issues (federal, state, and international), particularly those impacting the software industry, M&A transactions, or new business models.
  • Federal, state & international income tax audit defense, including preparation of proposed responses and supporting documentation to such inquiries and audits.
  • Oversee international tax compliance filings (e.g., Forms 5471, 8858, 8865, 8990, 8991, 8992, 8993, 1118) and ensure proper integration with the US consolidated return.

Specific experience with legal entity rationalization and purchase accounting for tax purposes is vital.
  • Deep expertise in US international tax provisions (e.g., GILTI, FDII, BEAT, Subpart F, Section 861, foreign tax credits) and practical application. Demonstrated experience with multi-jurisdictional tax planning, cross-border transactions, and understanding of global tax reform initiatives (e.g., OECD Pillar One and Pillar Two).

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
