| This document withdraws proposed regulations (REG-131264-04, 2004-2 C.B. 506) under section 1502 of the Code regarding intercompany transactions. The regulations provided additional examples in section 1.1502-13(c)(7)(ii), Example 13, to clarify the proper treatment of manufacturer incentive payments. One of these examples relied, in part, upon the premise that the manufacturer incentive payment is an ordinary and necessary business expense deductible under section 162. Because this treatment is now under reconsideration (see Rev. Rul. 2005-28, 2005-19 I.R.B. 997), the proposed regulations are withdrawn. |
