AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Treasury.

ACTION: Temporary regulations.

SUMMARY: This document contains temporary regulations under section 6033(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) that provide rules regarding the form, manner and timing of disclosure obligations with respect to prohibited tax shelter transactions to which taxexempt entities are parties. These temporary regulations affect a broad array of tax-exempt entities, including charities, state and local government

entities, Indian Tribal governments and employee benefit plans, as well as entity managers of these entities. This action is necessary to implement section 516 of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. The text of the temporary regulations also serves as the text of the proposed regulations set forth in the Proposed Rules section in this issue of the Federal Register .

DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective on July 6, 2007.

Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see § 1.6033–5T(g).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, Public Law 109–222 (120 Stat. 345) (TIPRA), enacted on May 17, 2006, defines certain transactions as prohibited tax shelter transactions and imposes excise taxes and disclosure requirements with respect to prohibited tax shelter transactions to which a tax-exempt

entity is a party. TIPRA creates new section 4965 and amends sections 6033(a)(2) and 6011(g) of the Code. The amended section 6033(a)(2) requires every tax-exempt entity to which section 4965 applies that is a party to a prohibited tax shelter transaction to disclose to the IRS (in such form and manner and at such time as determined by the Secretary) the following information: (a) That such entity is a party to the prohibited tax shelter transaction; and (b) the identity of any other party to the transaction which is known to the tax-exempt entity. The amended section 6011(g) requires any taxable party to a prohibited tax shelter transaction to disclose by statement to any tax-exempt entity to which section 4965 applies that is a party to such transaction that such transaction is a prohibited tax shelter transaction.

On July 11, 2006, the IRS released Notice 2006–65 (2006–31 IRB 102), which alerted taxpayers to the new provisions. On February 7, 2007, the IRS released Notice 2007–18 (2007–9 IRB 608), which provided interim guidance regarding the circumstances under which a tax-exempt entity will be treated as a party to a prohibited tax shelter transaction for purposes of sections 4965, 6033(a)(2) and 6011(g) and regarding the allocation to various periods of net income and proceeds

attributable to a prohibited tax shelter transaction, including amounts received prior to the effective date of the section 4965 tax. See § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)( b ). These temporary regulations are being issued concurrently with proposed regulations under sections 4965, 6033(a)(2) and 6011(g) published elsewhere in the Federal Register .

Explanation of Provisions

These temporary regulations contain rules concerning disclosure requirements imposed by section 6033(a)(2) on tax-exempt entities that are parties to prohibited tax shelter transactions. Proposed regulations providing rules concerning disclosure requirements under section 6033(a)(2) are being issued concurrently with these temporary regulations.

Effective Date

These temporary regulations are applicable with respect to transactions entered into by a tax-exempt entity after May 17, 2006.

Special Analyses

It has been determined that this Treasury decision is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Therefore, a regulatory assessment is not required. It has also been determined that section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these regulations. For the applicability of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), refer to the Special Analyses section of the preamble to the cross-referencing notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Proposed Rules section in this issue of the Federal Register . Pursuant to section 7805(f) of the Code, these regulations have been submitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration for comment on their impact on small business.

Drafting Information

The principal authors of these regulations are Galina Kolomietz and Dana Barry, Office of Division Counsel/ Associate Chief Counsel (Tax Exempt and Government Entities). However, other personnel from the IRS and the Treasury Department participated in their development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, Public Law 109–222 (120 Stat. 345) (TIPRA), enacted on May 17, 2006, added section 4965 to the Code. Section 4965 affects a broad array of tax-exempt entities as defined in section 4965(c). Tax-exempt entities described in section 4965(c)(1), (2), or (3) (referred to herein as ‘‘nonplan entities’’) include entities described in section 501(c), religious or apostolic associations or corporations described in section 501(d), entities described in section 170(c), including states, possessions of the United States, the District of Columbia, political subdivisions of states and political subdivisions of possessions of the United States (but not including the

United States), and Indian tribal governments within the meaning of section 7701(a)(40). Tax-exempt entities described in section 4965(c)(4), (c)(5), (c)(6), or (c)(7) (referred to herein as ‘‘plan entities’’) include tax-favored retirement plans, individual retirement arrangements, and savings arrangements described in section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 529, 457(b), 408(a), 220(d), 408(b), 530 or 223(d). Section 4965 imposes two new excise taxes, one on the tax-exempt entity (the entity-level tax) and the other on certain of the tax-exempt entity’s managers (the manager-level tax). The entity-level tax is imposed on non-plan entities that are parties to prohibited tax shelter transactions. The entity-level tax does not apply to plan entities. Prohibited tax shelter transactions are transactions that are identified by the IRS as ‘‘listed transactions’’ (within the meaning of section 6707A(c)(2)) and reportable transactions that are confidential transactions or transactions with contractual protection (as defined in section 6707A(c)(1) and § 1.6011–4(b) of this chapter).

The entity-level tax applies to each taxable year during which the non-plan entity is a party to a prohibited tax shelter transaction and has net income or proceeds attributable to the transaction which are properly allocable to that taxable year. The amount of the entity-level tax depends on whether the non-plan entity knew or had reason to know that the transaction was a prohibited tax shelter transaction at the time the entity became a party to the transaction. If the non-plan entity did not know (and did not have reason to know) that the transaction was a prohibited tax shelter transaction at the time the entity became a party to the transaction, the tax is the highest rate of tax under section 11 (currently 35 percent) multiplied by the greater of: (i) The entity’s net income with respect to the prohibited tax shelter transaction (after taking into account any tax imposed by Subtitle D, other than by this section, with respect to such transaction) for the taxable year or (ii) 75 percent of the proceeds received by the entity for the taxable year that are attributable to such transaction. If the non-plan entity knew or had reason to know that the transaction was a prohibited tax shelter transaction at the time the entity became a party to the transaction, the tax is the greater of (i) 100 percent of the entity’s net income with respect to the transaction (after taking into account any tax imposed by Subtitle D, other than by this section, with respect to such transaction) for the taxable year or (ii) 75 percent of the
