Action expected shortly by US Treasury on outbound transfers as well as other important issues, including the Branch Currency Rules

Shortly after President Trump took the oath of office as President, on April 21, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13789, a directive intended to reduce tax regulatory burdens on the IRS and Treasury.[1] The order instructed the Secretary of the Treasury to review all “significant tax regulations” issued on or after January 1, 2016 by the predecessor administration, and submit two reports, followed promptly by taking concrete action to alleviate the burdens of regulations that meet criteria outlined in the order.
