that the economic substance doctrine is relevant for purposes
of this title to a transaction (or series of transactions),
such transaction (or series of transactions) shall have
economic substance only if the requirements of this paragraph
are met.
``(B) Definition of economic substance.--For purposes of
subparagraph (A)--
``(i) In general.--A transaction has economic substance
only if--

``(I) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart
from Federal tax effects) the taxpayer's economic position,
and
``(II) the taxpayer has a substantial nontax purpose for
entering into such transaction and the transaction is a
reasonable means of accomplishing such purpose.

In applying subclause (II), a purpose of achieving a
financial accounting benefit shall not be taken into account
in determining whether a transaction has a substantial nontax
purpose if the origin of such financial accounting benefit is
a reduction of income tax.
``(ii) Special rule where taxpayer relies on profit
potential.--A transaction shall not be treated as having
economic substance by reason of having a potential for profit
unless--

``(I) the present value of the reasonably expected pre-tax
profit from the transaction is substantial in relation to the
present value of the expected net tax benefits that would be
allowed if the transaction were respected, and
``(II) the reasonably expected pre-tax profit from the
transaction exceeds a risk-free rate of return.

``(C) Treatment of fees and foreign taxes.--Fees and other
transaction expenses and foreign taxes shall be taken into
account as expenses in determining pre-tax profit under
subparagraph (B)(ii).
``(2) Special rules for transactions with tax-indifferent
parties.--
``(A) Special rules for financing transactions.--The form
of a transaction which is in substance the borrowing of money
or the acquisition of financial capital directly or
indirectly from a tax-indifferent party shall not be
respected if the present value of the deductions to be
claimed with respect to the transaction is substantially in
excess of the present value of the anticipated economic
returns of the person lending the money or providing the
financial capital. A public offering shall be treated as a
borrowing, or an acquisition of financial capital, from a
tax-indifferent party if it is reasonably expected that at
least 50 percent of the offering will be placed with tax-
indifferent parties.
``(B) Artificial income shifting and basis adjustments.--
The form of a transaction with a tax-indifferent party shall
not be respected if--
``(i) it results in an allocation of income or gain to the
tax-indifferent party in excess of such party's economic
income or gain, or
``(ii) it results in a basis adjustment or shifting of
basis on account of overstating the income or gain of the
tax-indifferent party.
``(3) Definitions and special rules.--For purposes of this
subsection--
``(A) Economic substance doctrine.--The term `economic
substance doctrine' means the common law doctrine under which
tax benefits under subtitle A with respect to a transaction
are not allowable if the transaction does not have economic
substance or lacks a business purpose.
``(B) Tax-indifferent party.--The term `tax-indifferent
party' means any person or entity not subject to tax imposed
by subtitle A. A person shall be treated as a tax-indifferent
party with respect to a transaction if the items taken into
account with respect to the transaction have no substantial
impact on such person's liability under subtitle A.
``(C) Exception for personal transactions of individuals.--
In the case of an individual, this subsection shall apply
only to transactions entered into in connection with a trade
or business or an activity engaged in for the production of
income.

(1)(B)(ii) to the lessor of tangible property subject to a
lease--
``(i) the expected net tax benefits with respect to the
leased property shall not include the benefits of--

``(I) depreciation,
``(II) any tax credit, or
``(III) any other deduction as provided in guidance by the
Secretary, and

``(ii) subclause (II) of paragraph (1)(B)(ii) shall be
disregarded in determining whether any of such benefits are
allowable.

specifically provided in this subsection, the provisions of
this subsection shall not be construed as altering or

[[Page S13196]]

supplanting any other rule of law, and the requirements of
this subsection shall be construed as being in addition to
any such other rule of law.

regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out
the purposes of this subsection. Such regulations may include
exemptions from the application of this subsection.''.
