State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman
State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman
Vanderbilt Law Review
So long as we have a federal system of government, a continuing problem, and certainly one of the most pressing, is that of an effective coordination of taxes. That problem has achieved paramount impor- tance in late years. Because of new and expanding conceptions as to what governments should do for people, our state governments are continually confronted with ever-increasing demands that they provide additional governmental functions and supply more governmental services. The resulting increase in governmental activities and extension of benefits mean urgent needs for additional revenue. As prices have spiraled under the increasing pressure of meeting our domestic …
Tax Considerations In Selecting A Form Of Foreign Business Organization, Walter W. Brudno
Tax Considerations In Selecting A Form Of Foreign Business Organization, Walter W. Brudno
Vanderbilt Law Review
The provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which are of particular relevance to the planning of foreign operations are few in number and are generally deceptively simple in phraseology. The substantive provisions consist of those sections which specify rules for determining the source of income, for calculating the credit for foreign taxes paid in respect of foreign source income, and for allowance of concessional treatment accorded Western Hemisphere Trade Corporations, United States Possessions Corporations, and China Trade Act Corporations. Measures designed to prevent tax avoidance which are of particular relevance are those which relate to acquisition of corporate control for …
Subchapter S And Its Effect On The Capitalization Of Corporations, Mortimer M. Caplin
Subchapter S And Its Effect On The Capitalization Of Corporations, Mortimer M. Caplin
Vanderbilt Law Review
Our federal tax laws encourage the creation of complex capital structures. "Thinning" capitalizations by issuing corporate indebtedness offers well known tax advantages to both shareholder and corporation.' Also, since 1954, issuing preferred stock on incorporation is a standard procedure for side-stepping the "bail-out" prohibitions of code section 306. A "good" capitalization from a tax viewpoint, therefore, will often involve a small base of common stock, a heavier layer of preferred stock and as much debt as the tax adviser believes will be given tax recognition.
State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman
State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman
Vanderbilt Law Review
There was a time when state and local taxes were perhaps only a minor factor in determining where a new business would locate and were probably not seriously considered in connection with most locational decisions. In recent years, however, because of the need for additional revenue on the part of state and local governments and the resulting increases in varieties and amounts of taxes, business must give more attention to the question of state and local taxes in deciding where to locate and operate. In this discussion of state taxation of corporate income from multi-state operations, we will include taxes …
Corporate Law Department Communications--Privilege And Discovery, Thomas R. Hunt
Corporate Law Department Communications--Privilege And Discovery, Thomas R. Hunt
Vanderbilt Law Review
With the growth in number and size of corporate law departments, there is increased interest in determining the conditions and areas in which their communications' may be called for, and used, in litigation. As business becomes more complex, requiring adherence to legislation and regulation which allows small tolerance between the licit and illicit, or demanding close attention to administrative detail, the role of the lawyer is amplified. Concurrently, corporate counsel is engaged in areas where the distinction between business and legal considerations becomes decreasingly apparent.
Extent Of The Legislature's Reserve Power To Change Common Law Attributes Of Corporations, Edward R. Hayes
Extent Of The Legislature's Reserve Power To Change Common Law Attributes Of Corporations, Edward R. Hayes
Vanderbilt Law Review
Does a stockholder have a right, at common law, to dissent and have his stock repurchased when his corporation purchases the assets of another business? If he does, is this a common law attribute of corporations? What other common law attributes may there be? To what extent has a legislature power to alter or modify these attributes, or to authorize alteration or modification by the holders of a majority of a corporation's stock? The discussion will be directed first to what attributes a corporation has apart from those bearing on its relations with its stockholders; next, to what attributes are …
Fifteen-Year Survey Of Corporate Developments, 1944-1959, Miguel A. De Capriles
Fifteen-Year Survey Of Corporate Developments, 1944-1959, Miguel A. De Capriles
Vanderbilt Law Review
The foregoing survey, it is believed, amply demonstrates the kaleidoscopic variety of the corporate developments of the past fifteen years, even though for obvious reasons much of the detail has had to be omitted. General conclusions are difficult to draw. It seems likely that the success of capitalist enterprise in this, period and the self-imposed improvement in standards of corporate. Fanchon & Marco, Inc. v. Paramount Pictures, 202 F.2d 731 (2d Cir. management have retarded the underlying trend toward expansion of the role of government in the regulation of economic affairs. There has been no occasion for new dramatic statutory …
The Tax Treatment Of Collapsible Corporations, Boris I. Bittker
The Tax Treatment Of Collapsible Corporations, Boris I. Bittker
Vanderbilt Law Review
Introductory.-Section 331 (a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a complete liquidation of a corporation is to be treated by the shareholder as a sale of his stock, which will ordinarily produce capital gain or loss, and section 334 (a) provides that the shareholders' basis for property acquired on the liquidation is its fair market value at the time of distribution. These rules, which are of long standing, led to the tax avoidance device known as the "collapsible corporation," which in its turn led,in 1950, to the enactment of what is now section 341. As will be seen, …
Initial Capitalization And Financing Of Corporations, Chester Rohrlich
Initial Capitalization And Financing Of Corporations, Chester Rohrlich
Vanderbilt Law Review
Since one of the varied uses to which stock purchase options maybe put is as a means of raising, or facilitating the raising, of capital, we deem it appropriate to direct attention to them. Like so many instrumentalities, they are subject to abuse and raise some difficulties, but used honestly and with discretion, they do represent a means (a) of compensating promoters and underwriters and retaining their continuing interest in the financial success of the corporation, (b) of adding speculative attraction to the security with which it is issued, or, less frequently, (c) of raising funds by direct and independent …
Business Associations--1959 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal
Business Associations--1959 Tennessee Survey, F. Hodge O'Neal
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Eighty-first General Assembly enacted a considerable number of significant statutes affecting business organizations or their activities. One of the new statutes made important changes in the Securities Law of 1955. Several of the statutes were designed, or at least professed to be designed, to encourage the commercial and industrial development of Tennessee. On the other hand, Tennessee courts handed down during the survey period only two or three opinions touching on business associations questions, and those questions were of but little importance. In general, this article discusses the statutes first, then the judicial decisions.
Interstate Compacts As A Device To Develop And Regulate Atomic Energy, W. Harold Bigham
Interstate Compacts As A Device To Develop And Regulate Atomic Energy, W. Harold Bigham
Vanderbilt Law Review
When the Congress adopted the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, releasing the atom from federal monopoly and inviting the division of regulatory and control functions between the federal government and the states, the gates were opened for large-scale participation by private industry in the new technology. It was natural, therefore, that the states should begin to view with awakened interest the role which they are to play in the development and regulation of this new source of energy. However amorphous the role of the states may be as yet, some preparation is being made to accept the responsibilities which will …
