The Internal Revenue Service has issued final regulations (PDF) providing additional guidance on the base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT).

The final regulations provide detailed guidance regarding how to compute certain BEAT calculations for groups of related taxpayers.

Updates on the implementation of the TCJA can be found on the Tax Reform page of IRS.gov.
