‘‘(1) There shall be excluded the amount of the
earnings and profits which are attributable to in-
come from sources within the United States which
is effectively connected with the conduct by the con-
trolled foreign corporation of a trade or business
within the United States, except to the extent such

any illegal bribe, kickback, or other payment (within

strictions or limitations imposed under the laws of
any foreign country.
‘‘(4) Earnings and profits shall be determined
without regard to paragraphs (4), (5), and (6) of
section 312(n). Under regulations, the preceding
sentence shall not apply to the extent it would in-
crease earnings and profits by an amount which was
previously distributed by the controlled foreign cor-
poration.
Except as provided in this subsection and section
312(k)(4), the earnings and profits of any foreign corpora-
tion, and the deficit and earnings and profits of any for-
eign corporation for any taxable year shall be determined
according to rules similar to those applicable to domestic
corporations, under regulations prescribed by the Sec-
retary.
