Equitable Recoupment: Revisiting An Old And Inconsistent Remedy, Camilla E. Watson
Equitable Recoupment: Revisiting An Old And Inconsistent Remedy, Camilla E. Watson
Scholarly Works
This Article examines the development of recoupment by first comparing and contrasting other equitable remedies. Because discussions of related equitable remedies have filled tomes in themselves, this Article concentrates only on the more salient aspects of these remedies as they pertain to the development of recoupment in the federal tax context. Next, the established elements of recoupment will be discussed in depth, with particular emphasis on the views of Professor Andrews. The Article questions whether Professor Andrews's views represent the most effective analysis of the recoupment criteria in light of the judicial inconsistencies.
In discussing the ineffectiveness of recoupment as …
'Complete' Accrual Taxation, Fred B. Brown
'Complete' Accrual Taxation, Fred B. Brown
All Faculty Scholarship
Under the realization rule, accrued gains and losses generally are not taken into account for income tax purposes until a disposition occurs. Thus, the realization rule is responsible for tax deferral, which in turn likely leads to economic inefficiencies and inequities. The realization rule also contributes greatly to the complexity of the federal income tax system by necessitating numerous Internal Revenue Code provisions that address the many consequences arising from the decision to postpone taxation until a disposition occurs.
An alternative to the realization rule is accrual taxation - the inclusion in the tax base of annual increases and decreases …
The Proposed Corporate Sponsorship Regulations: Is The Treasury Department "Sleeping With The Enemy"?, David A. Brennen
The Proposed Corporate Sponsorship Regulations: Is The Treasury Department "Sleeping With The Enemy"?, David A. Brennen
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In 1993, the Treasury Department (the Treasury) issued a proposed regulation outlining when money received by a charity from a corporate sponsor would be subject to federal income tax. In defining the phrase "trade or business," the proposed regulation addresses the extent to which sponsorship payments to charities will be treated by the Treasury as having been made in return for advertising on behalf of the sponsor, thus subjecting the payment to income tax. In the proposed regulation, the Treasury concludes that a charity's use of a corporate sponsor's name in the title of a charitable event is a mere …
Toward A Tax-Based Explanation Of The Liability Insurance Crisis, Kyle D. Logue
Toward A Tax-Based Explanation Of The Liability Insurance Crisis, Kyle D. Logue
Articles
The so-called liability insurance crisis of 1985 and 1986 transformed the way we think about tort law and about liability insurance markets. The crisis phenomena, which first appeared in late 1984 and lasted until mid-1986, consisted of enormous increases in liability insurance premiums and alarming reductions in the availability of certain types of liability coverage. In the two principal liability lines of insurance (Other Liability and Medical Malpractice), premiums increased by hundreds (in some cases thousands) of percentage points in a matter of months. At the same time, the availability of liability insurance contracted sharply. The liability policies that were …

Commerce Clause Restraints On State Business Development Incentives, Walter Hellerstein, Dan T. Coenen
Commerce Clause Restraints On State Business Development Incentives, Walter Hellerstein, Dan T. Coenen
Scholarly Works
In this Article, we explore the ill-defined distinction between the constitutional carrot and the unconstitutional stick in state tax, subsidy, and related cases. Part I examines the restraints that the Commerce Clause imposes on state tax incentives. It canvasses the general principles limiting discriminatory state taxation, explores the Court's decisions addressing state tax incentives, and proposes a framework of analysis for adjudicating the validity of such incentives. Part I concludes by considering the constitutionality of a variety of state tax incentives within our suggested framework and also under alternative approaches that courts might utilize. Part II examines the restraints that …
Cognitive Theory And The Selling Of The Flat Tax, Deborah A. Geier
Cognitive Theory And The Selling Of The Flat Tax, Deborah A. Geier
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In this article, Professor Deborah A. Geier brings to bear the insights of Professor Edward J. McCaffery, regarding the interaction of cognitive theory and the tax world, to the flat tax proposal. The article explores how the perceptual biases described by Professor McCaffery might affect both taxpayers' impressions of the contours of the proposed tax base and their behavioral reponses to the same incentive. The author warns that any errors in her application of Professor McCaffery's work to the flat tax are entirely her own.

An Analysis Of The Disallowance Of Advertising Expenses For Tobacco Products, Ravi Mannam
An Analysis Of The Disallowance Of Advertising Expenses For Tobacco Products, Ravi Mannam
LLM Theses and Essays
Generally, reasonable expenses incurred in the ordinary and necessary course of a legitimate trade or business are deductible from gross income under the U.S. Tax Code; however in an effort to curb tobacco use, recent legislation has disallowed this benefit to tobacco companies for advertising expenses. The judiciary has upheld this disallowance under the doctrine of legislative grace. This thesis critiques the doctrine of legislative grace along with a review Congress’s power to tax income and the role of deductions. Also, the possibility of disallowing business expenses under public policy grounds is examined, and the relationship between lobbying expenses and …

Virtual Taxation: Source-Based Taxation In The Age Of Derivatives, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Articles
What are the implications of the explosive growth in the market for derivative financial instruments for international taxation? As Rosenbloom (1996) has pointed out, derivatives do not pose a particular international tax problem as long as one focuses on residence-based taxation. In that context, the issues raised by derivatives are the same as in a purely domestic context, which have been discussed extensively elsewhere (e.g., Warren, 1993). However, when the focus is on source-based taxation, and in particular source-based taxation of passive income (i.e., withholding taxes), the rise of derivatives has far-reaching implications. In 1994, then U.S. International Tax Counsel …

What if the current federal income tax laws were repealed and replaced with a simple flat tax? What if the entire Internal Revenue Code (with its graduated rates and countless deductions, exclusions, and credits) were scuttled in favor of a broad-based consumption tax? Only a few years ago, such proposals would have seemed radical and extremely unlikely to be adopted. But times are changing. Calls for a drastic overhaul of the Internal Revenue Code have become commonplace, even at the highest levels in the tax-policy community. In addition, proposals that would replace the income tax with a flat-rate broad-based consumption …
The Market For Deadbeats, Margaret F. Brinig, F. H. Buckley
The Market For Deadbeats, Margaret F. Brinig, F. H. Buckley
Journal Articles
This article outlines three explanations for why states seek migrants and tests them by references to 1985-90 interstate migration flows. On race-for-the-top theories, states compete for value-increasing migrants by offering them healthy economies and efficient laws. On vote-seeking theories, states compete for clienteles of voters, with some states seeking to attract and some to deter welfare- or tax-loving migrants. On deadbeat theories, states compete for high human capital debtors by offering them a fresh start from out-of-state creditors. Our findings support vote-seeking and deadbeat theories.

Trouble In Transamerica: Deferred Compensation, Contingent Debt, And Overstated Basis, Mary Lafrance
Scholarly Works
For many years, owners of motion pictures and television films have optimized the tax benefits of depreciation deductions by employing a broad concept of basis. In addition to their cash investment, these taxpayers have increased their basis to reflect both fixed and contingent liabilities incurred in creating or acquiring these assets. Some of these liabilities represent royalties for the use of intellectual property such as music and literary works incorporated in the film. Others constitute deferred compensation for the services performed by producers, directors, actors, musicians, and others during the production process. The fixed liabilities do not depend on the …

Most of my teaching and research efforts are currently spent in two general fields of law - taxation and insurance. Which raises an interesting question: Why would a rational person decide to devote a good portion of his academic career to areas of law that many people - lawyers and nonlawyers alike - find painfully boring and unreasonably complicated? The ta and insurance lawyers in the audience, of course, already know the answer - that ta ation and insuran e are e ceptionally interesting topics and that, if one wants to understand how the real world works (in particular, the …
