Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On May 20, 2013, PPL Corporation ("PPL" or the "Company") issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Supreme Court ("Court") had issued a unanimous decision reversing the U.S Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ("Third Circuit") and holding that the 1997 U.K. Windfall Profits Tax ("Windfall Profits Tax") paid by a U.K. subsidiary of PPL is a creditable tax for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
As previously reported, in September 2010 the U.S. Tax Court had ruled in PPL's favor in its dispute with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") concluding that the Windfall Profits Tax is a creditable tax for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. In January 2011, the IRS appealed the Tax Court's decision to the Third Circuit, which in December 2011 reversed the Tax Court. In July 2012, PPL filed a petition for a writ of certiorari seeking the Court's review of the Third Circuit's decision, which was granted in October 2012.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the Company's May 20, 2013 press release.
