WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A few U.S. companies that moved offshore in a wave of inversion deals are considering returning to the United States now that domestic tax rates are lower and tax policing is tougher abroad, attorneys and consultants said.

A handful of clients have asked about redomestication, which could involve buying a U.S.-headquartered company, the tax advisers said. No specific companies or deals were identified.
Uncertainties about U.S. Republican President Donald Trump’s trade policies have also prompted the conversations, the advisers said.
“Inverted companies have reason to look at whether or not it still makes sense for them to be offshore, particularly those that manufacture product outside the U.S. and sell it back into the U.S.,” said Pam Olson, a Washington-based tax expert at accounting and consulting group PwC.
A surge of homecomings would reverse an on-again, off-again trend since the 1980s of U.S. companies reincorporating overseas to cut tax costs.
In an inversion, a U.S. company typically buys a smaller foreign firm in a lower-tax country and adopts the acquired firm’s headquarters.
That maneuver means the company does not have to pay U.S. taxes on foreign income, even if its management and operations remain in the United States.
Trump’s public shaming of companies that move plants and jobs overseas has also made some consumer-focused firms rethink inversions, advisers said.
Executives at inverted companies see less tax “friction” under the new tax regime that would discourage redomiciling, advisers said, and have also mentioned the appeal of corporate-friendly, low-tax states and improved access to U.S. government contracts in the discussions.

More than 60 U.S. companies have inverted, including medical device maker Medtronic Plc (MDT.N). There was a wave of deals in 2011-2014, but inversions largely ended in 2015 after a regulatory crackdown by Democratic President Barack Obama.
Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) walked away from a $160 billion merger with Ireland-based Allergan Plc (AGN.N) in 2016 because of new U.S. Treasury rules.
The Republican tax overhaul signed into law in December eliminated a key inversion incentive by slashing the U.S. corporate rate to 21 percent from 35 percent and altering how foreign profits are taxed.
A push to prevent profit-shifting strategies and corporate tax base erosion across the 36-nation Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development is also making foreign tax domiciles marginally less attractive, especially in Europe.
Tax advisers said it is still possible to structure lower tax rates in countries such as Ireland and the Netherlands.
How the U.S. Treasury implements parts of the new tax law will help determine whether companies return to the United States.
A new tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income, or GILTI, on its face imposes a 10.5 percent tax rate. But because the bill is poorly worded, it can result in rates of 15 percent or more due to unfavorable effects on foreign tax credits.
GILTI’s implementation could influence tax-base decisions among companies redomiciled in Britain, which may consider whether to relocate to the United States or other countries to avoid the effects of Brexit.
Redomiciling to the United States is a case-by-case decision, said Joe Calianno, tax partner at financial advisory firm BDO.
“It really is a modeling exercise to determine whether it’s more beneficial being a U.S.-based company versus a foreign-based company,” he said.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s tough stance on Iran, new tariffs on European Union metal imports and U.S. demands for higher defense spending in Europe are part of a strategy to strengthen the West, a senior U.S. official said on Thursday.

Wess Mitchell, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, said that without such actions, U.S. and European diplomatic and military leadership would be overtaken by China, Russia and Iran.
“Taking strong positions on these issues may not always lead to immediate agreement. But the long term costs of neglecting these things far outweigh political unity,” Mitchell told European and NATO officials, in a rare speech by a Trump administration official in Brussels.
European leaders are deeply worried by Trump’s foreign policy and his “America first” rhetoric, while his May 8 decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal undermined an agreement prized by Europeans.
A Group of Seven summit in Canada earlier this month laid bare tensions between NATO allies after Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union and Canada on national security grounds.
Mitchell, who studied in Berlin and speaks German, sought to place Trump’s decisions into a coherent policy plan that would benefit European countries because Trump was acting decisively to bring change, rather than relying on endless negotiations.
“In all of these areas, with Iran, defense spending, trade, we are committed to finding a common way forward, we are committing to acting. We can debate, we can strategize, we can coordinate, but we must act,” he said.
“In the actions we take, we are hoping to spur a multilateral response to address some of the world’s toughest challenges,” Mitchell said at the Carnegie Europe think-tank gathering in Brussels.
Mitchell said U.S. import tariffs on European goods would end “structural trade imbalances and predatory trade practices” in U.S.-EU trade, which would weaken the West if they continue.
Reimposing sanctions on Iran by withdrawing from the Iran nuclear accord would help stop Tehran’s missile program and limit the regional reach of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, he said.
Mitchell also repeated Trump’s central message to NATO that European allies must spend 2 percent of economic output a year on defense to rebuild “atrophied European militaries.”
Trump is expected at a NATO summit in Brussels in July, a year since he first came to the alliance and publicly admonished allies for not spending enough on defense.
Many EU and NATO diplomats now view the U.S. president as an unknown quantity with a lack of interest in the transatlantic ties that Europe and Canada cherish, and who is unnecessarily stoking a global trade war that will hurt economic growth.
