IP Poses Risks, Opportunities for Companies' Tariff Planning

As President Donald Trump's tariffs make waves in the world economy, multinational companies are mulling what it could mean for their intangible assets like intellectual property and brand recognition. The vast majority of corporate value comes from intangibles. In 2020, such assets made up 90% of the value of the S&P 500, according to an often-cited study by IP consultant Ocean Tomo—up from up from just 17% in 1975. Tariffs don’t directly levy fees on intangibles, but their value is often embedded into imported products, raising the tariffed price. These intangible assets can also come with a smorgasbord of options for companies to locate IP in countries to best blunt the impacts of tariffs or reduce taxes on their business. On this episode of Talking Tax, Grant Thornton principal Glen Marku talked with reporter Caleb Harshberger about what companies' intangible assets could mean for their tariffs exposure and whether they need to rethink their tax planning.

SPECIAL: Justice Stephen Breyer on Trump, the Rule of Law, and Whether the Supreme Court is Political

In this special episode of UnCommon Law, former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer sits down with Bloomberg Law's Matthew S. Schwartz to discuss the Court, executive power, Dobbs, judicial independence, and the rule of law. Reflecting on nearly three decades on the bench — and the perennial question of whether politics shapes when justices choose to retire — he explains how justices make decisions, and why preserving public trust in the Supreme Court and the Constitution is essential, even as polls show trust in the judiciary near a 50-year low.

How EY Is Tackling Global Minimum Tax Compliance

The new 15% global minimum tax that took effect this year is turning out to be compliance beast. The tax, which is part of an international tax deal agreed to by more than 140 countries in 2021, contains a slew of new technical terms, complex rules, and hundreds of pages of administrative guidance. Now, some of the largest accounting firms in the world have been tasked with interpreting these rules, educating their clients, and building complex data systems to help multinational companies calculate their global minimum tax bills. In this week's episode of "Talking Tax," reporter Lauren Vella sits down with Danyle Ordway, principal of tax technology and data analytics at Ernst & Young LLP, to talk about how the firm is helping clients adapt to the new levy.

What an IRS CEO Means for Tax Administration, Agency Functions

Taxpayer advocates are keeping close watch on this week's decision to name Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano as CEO of the IRS, and have many questions about what it could mean for the agency. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday he was creating a new IRS CEO position, and Republicans in Congress seem to be generally supportive, though some said the White House should still name an IRS commissioner nominee. The Treasury Department assured staff in GOP Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley's office that a commissioner nominee would still be sent to the Senate. At the same time, the Senate Finance Committee voted Wednesday to advance Derek Theurer's nomination to be undersecretary for legislative affairs and Donald Korb's nomination to be IRS chief counsel. That's good news for Pete Sepp —president of the National Taxpayers Union, a taxpayer advocacy group—who is concerned that many of the top IRS positions remained unfilled. Sepp, who sat down with Bloomberg Tax Senior Reporter Chris Cioffi for this episode of Talking Tax, said Congress is right to seek answers about how the CEO job interacts with the commissioner. He said he hoped the CEO position, in the future, would be selected by an IRS oversight board that has been dormant for more than a decade. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

How the DOJ Decides Who Gets Charged and Who Doesn't in America

How does the Justice Department decide who gets charged with a crime and who doesn't? In the post-Watergate era, the Justice Department developed policies and institutional safeguards intended to separate political considerations from prosecutorial decisions: typically career attorneys delve into the law and investigate the facts, evaluate the evidence needed to secure a conviction, and recommend whether a case should move forward. However, Trump administration critics say that process is under pressure, pointing to a series of high-profile cases involving political figures and former government officials. On this episode of UnCommon Law, we explore the doctrine of selective prosecution — the claim that someone was targeted for prosecution because of who they are, what they said, or the political positions they hold. Through the cases involving James Comey, Letitia James, and Eric Adams, legal scholars, journalists, and former Justice Department officials examine how the DOJ decides whether to pursue or abandon a case, and what that process reveals about prosecutorial discretion, independence, and accountability. We'll also examine the changing role of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section, the office created after Watergate to help oversee politically sensitive prosecutions. Guests: Bennett Gershman, professor of law at Pace University and a former prosecutor in the New York State Anti-Corruption Office; author of the treatise Prosecutorial Misconduct Stanley Brand, former general counsel to the US House of Representatives and a veteran white-collar defense attorney; now Distinguished Fellow in Law and Government at Penn State Dickinson Law John Keller, former chief of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section; now a partner at Walden Macht Haran & Williams Chris Strohm, senior reporter at Bloomberg News covering the Justice Department *** CREDITS Host/Producer/Sound Design: Matthew S.

Fuel Producers Prep for Tax Credit Without IRS Rules

Fuel producers are trying to prepare for a tax credit regime change, even though the Treasury Department has failed to issue rules around those credits. The clean fuel production tax credit under Section 45Z takes effect next year, replacing a longstanding blenders credit. The new credit gives tax breaks to fuel according to its carbon intensity score. But the yet-to-be-released Treasury and IRS rules will explain how to calculate that score. Debbie Gordon, leader of RSM US LLP's excise and energy tax practice, told reporter Erin Schilling on this week's episode of Talking Tax podcast that fuel producers are still trying to prepare for the new credit, even amid that uncertainty. It's unclear when the clean fuel production tax credit rules will come out, though a Treasury spokesperson said the Biden administration expects to put out some guidance before the administration change in January. Many also are trying to push to start construction on clean fuel projects before the end of this year to qualify for the current credits. Gordon gives insight on what fuel producers are doing to safeguard their projects, how they're preparing for the new credit, and what the new administration means for the future of the credit.

Government Accounting Chair Eyes AI, Tech Integration

The leader of a top US standard-setter wants his board to take the next step in using emerging technology to craft accounting rules for local and state governments. Joel Black, chair of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, said a key priority for the board this year is shifting gears from monitoring emerging tools such as artificial intelligence to preparing for its future integration. In his final two years as leader, Black said he intends to craft an enduring focus on how technology can make financial reporting more efficient. GASB establishes standards for state and local governments that follow generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Cities and states' staffing shortages and resource constraints have motivated the board to be especially selective about the projects it takes on, Black said. The board is currently working to update how governments should value infrastructure assets such as bridges and tunnels, as well as develop digital classifications for financial reporting. Black, who previously worked at Mauldin & Jenkins LLC and KPMG LLP, has led the board since 2020. Bloomberg Tax reporter Jorja Siemons spoke with Black about his 2025 priorities.

Tariffs Shake Up Companies' Transfer Pricing Planning

Tax departments at multinational companies are scrambling to keep up with the Trump administration's tariff announcements as the updates pile in day to day and sudden shifts complicate transfer pricing calculations. Tariffs raise companies' costs, and those can't always be passed on to consumers—meaning businesses have to choose where to allocate the costs in their supply chains. While the importing entity pays the tariffs, the company can adjust the transfer price to pass that cost to other, related entities. That can present opportunities to reduce the impact of tariffs—but also may lead to risks of audits from tax and customs agencies. And with so much unknown, it's become hard for companies to find tax certainty, said Summer Austin, partner at Baker McKenzie. Austin and Baker McKenzie partner Jennifer Revis talked to Bloomberg Tax reporter Caleb Harshberger about what the tariffs mean for transfer pricing and how companies should respond.

Tax Cuts, Credits Hang in Balance for NY Budget Talks

New York officials are in the final stage of the state’s budget process, following March 13 passage of the Assembly and Senate individual spending and revenue proposals for fiscal 2026. It's now up to a three-way negotiation between the Legislature's two chambers and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has her own plans for a budget that’s likely to top $252 billion—including a host of tax changes that don’t completely align with what the Democratic-led lawmakers want. As in recent years, lawmakers have proposed raising taxes on the highest-income earners and corporations, which Hochul has rejected in the past. There are divergent approaches to how much to expand the state’s child tax credit. And the Senate wants to tailor the governor's idea of sending New Yorkers sales tax rebates—a salve to inflation—to just seniors rather than all taxpayers. Other issues include an expansion of New York's film tax credit program to benefit more independent movies and whether the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's funding needs will disrupt the various tax proposals. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax state editor Benjamin Freed talks with New York correspondent Danielle Muoio Dunn and Bloomberg Government Albany correspondent Zach Williams about the budget process, the political stakes for Hochul ahead of her 2026 re-election campaign, and the odds that lawmakers wrap up the budget by their April 1 deadline—or at least the first night of Passover.
