KPMG's international tax reform analyzer
Modeling the potential impact of tax reform
View more
The U.S. tax law enacted in December 2017 (the 2017 Tax Act) is a gamechanger for many businesses—especially multinational organizations. On the international tax front, the 2017 Tax Act is complicated, introducing a number of new tax concepts that are layered on the existing tax system and may have a significant impact on an oragnization's global effective tax rate (ETR) and cross-border tax planning. Even the most experienced international tax practioners can become mired in the complexity when evaluating the potential impact of these rules on a company's global operations.
KPMG LLP's (KPMG) international tax reform analyzer can help.

ITRA key features:
- Powerful modeling capabilities

- Regular updates reflecting latest technical developments.
ITRA also links to other KPMG tax tools, providing a broader picture of the potential impact of tax reform, including:
- ITRA's Connector:
Connecting tax reform modeling and compliance
ITRA's tax compliance connector (ITRA's Connector) interfaces directly with third-party corporate income tax compliance tools., such as Corptax and Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Income Tax compliance software. Without this automated interface, multinational companies may experience gaps and inefficiencies in connecting their international tax calculations to completed tax forms.
- ITRA's PTEP module:
Tackling complex PTEP attribute tracking and distribution ordering rules
The complex and evolving previously taxed earnings and profits (PTEP) rules have become the centerpiece of cross-border cash management and attribute tracking. An add-on to ITRA, the PTEP module allows users to model distribution scenarios to understand the potential tax implications and facilitate decision-making.
- State and local tax reform tool: Helps measure the potential state and local income tax impact of tax reform by estimating and evaluating various significant provisions.
