BNY Mellon (BK) will take a charge of $850M on its Q1 earnings after it lost a tax case with the IRS, which accused the bank, along with several of its peers, of falsely claiming foreign tax credits via loans from Barclays (BCS). BNY wanted a $900M benefit on debt of $1.5B, but the court ruled that the transactions lacked "economic substance" and were only carried out for tax purposes. The case was the first of its kind to go to trial.
