The Internal Revenue Service has told Xilinx Inc. that it will not file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court that would ask the court to review the Ninth Circuit decision that held that Xilinx need not share stock option costs under its joint venture with an Irish affiliate, a company official said June 8.
Dan Goff, vice-president, tax, Xilinx, said the company recently received an e-mail from the Department of Justice indicating that IRS does not intend to file for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, so “hopefully the Xilinx case is closed.
However, Goff said the case (Xilinx Inc. v. Commissioner,9th Cir.,No. 06-74246,3/22/10) is still technically open until June 20 because IRS has 90 days after the Ninth Circuit decision in which to file for certiorari with the Supreme Court.
