boycott as a condition of doing  
during any period during which  
business within such country or with  
the government, company, or national  
of that country, a portion of the CFC's  
income is included in subpart F  
income. The amount included is  
determined by multiplying the CFC's  
income (other than income included  
under section 951 and U.S. source  
effectively connected business  
income described in section 952(b))  
by the international boycott factor.  
This factor is a fraction determined on

The amount included in the gross  
income of a U.S. shareholder of a  
CFC under section 951(a)(1)(A) for  
any tax year and attributable to a  
qualified activity must be reduced by  
the shareholder's pro rata share of  
any qualified deficit (see section  
952(c)(1)(B)).
