Determination of whether the foreign corporation’s income constitutes a foreign corporation under the specific requirements of the former Corporate Tax Act shall be made based on whether the foreign corporation can be deemed a separate subject of rights and duties, independent from its members in light of the laws and regulations of the country established.
