DB 57B: Matching of deductions and income from multi-jurisdictional arrangements

You could also call this:

“Rules for claiming deductions in multi-country arrangements”

You can’t claim a deduction if it’s not allowed under subpart FH. This subpart deals with hybrid and branch mismatches of deductions and income from arrangements involving multiple countries.

If subpart FH says you can treat something as a deduction, then you can claim it as a deduction.

These rules are important and can override or add to the general permission for deductions. However, the general limitations on deductions still apply.
