“Advisers working on Dell Inc.’s $24.4 billion buyout are trying to solve a problem: how to use the computer maker’s foreign cash without paying a $2.6 billion U.S. tax bill.

The efforts highlight a current bind of corporate America: While U.S. companies are holding more cash than ever, the tangle of U.S. tax policies and corporate cash-preservation strategies means much of it isn’t readily available for some of the most important corporate decisions, such as returning cash to shareholders or mergers and acquisitions.”
