The Taxation Of Nonshareholder Contributions To Capital: An Economic Analysis, Thomas L. Evans

Vanderbilt Law Review

Every year, billions of dollars are contributed to corporations by persons who are neither owners nor shareholders of those corporations. These contributions, categorized under the income tax laws as "non- shareholder contributions to capital," play an important economic role in subsidizing the construction of new factories and other improvements to the nation's infrastructure.

This Article concerns the federal income tax treatment of the two principal categories of nonshareholder contributions to capital, which together encompass the great majority of these transactions. The first category consists of contributions made for the purpose of obtaining economic development. Typically, this occurs when governments and …

Rider V. County Of San Diego: Special Districts And Special Taxes Under Proposition 13, William A. Stahr

San Diego Law Review

The voters of California passed initiative Proposition 13 in 1978. This initiative limited the ability of state and local taxing authorities to raise revenue. The courts were left with the difficult task of interpreting that initiative as applied to numerous factual situations, a task made more difficult by the lack of any meaningful legislative history. When San Diego County sought to finance certain judicial and criminal facilities with a sales tax increase, the California Supreme Court had already lain out an analysis of Proposition 13 that suggested the new tax was constitutionally imposed. However, upon challenge in Rider v. County …

Economic Actors In The Work Of Madame Justice Wilson, Maureen Maloney

Dalhousie Law Journal

One cannot discuss corporate or tax law, or indeed any law for that matter, in a value vacuum. How we interpret, analyse and assess factual situations and the legal analysis of them will differ depending upon our individual, and occasionally, collective or societal perspectives. In the economic sphere, a great deal depends upon one's world view of the primary economic actors in our society - corporations; and the main economic laws - the tax laws. At the outset I should state that a major reason for my disagreement with some of Justice Wilson's decisions is due to the fact that, …

State Taxation Of Nonresidents' Pension Income, Walter Hellerstein

Scholarly Works

This article examines the issues raised by the efforts of some states to tax the pension income of their former residents and of the proposed congressional legislation to forbid such taxation. While there may be sound policy reasons for forbidding state taxation of nonresident pension income, they have yet to emerge clearly from the rhetoric that has thus far dominated the debate over the pension tax issue. The goal of the article is to examine the questions raised by the controversy over state taxation of nonresident pensions in the hope that dispassionate analysis of the problem may contribute to a …

An Economic And Political Look At Federalism In Taxation, Daniel Shaviro

Michigan Law Review

Part I of this article examines the reasons for preferring locationally neutral taxes and explains the basic tension between locational neutrality and state and local autonomy in taxation. Part II examines the federal judicial check on state and local taxation, which often relies on a principle barring discrimination against outsiders or interstate commerce. Part III explores the need for a broad federal judicial check by examining state and local governments' reasons for imposing (or avoiding) locationally distortive taxes, the countervailing benefits of allowing such governments broad autonomy in taxation, and Congress' willingness to strike down locationally distortive taxes under its …

Fighting Exclusion From Televised Presidential Debates: Minor-Party Candidates' Standing To Challenge Sponsoring Organizations' Tax-Exempt Status, Gregory P. Magarian

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that courts should recognize minor-party presidential candidates' standing to challenge the section 50l(c)(3) tax-exempt status of organizations sponsoring televised debates that exclude minor-party candidates. Part I situates the issue within the context of the Supreme Court's standing jurisprudence and concludes that the validity of a third-party tax-status challenge by an aggrieved minor-party presidential candidate remains an open question. Part II analyzes the Second and District of Columbia Circuits' decisions and concludes that the Second Circuit's approach properly interprets the Supreme Court's standing doctrine and correctly resolves the particular arguments which both courts consider. Part III first demonstrates …

Software Taxation In Ohio, Robert W. Mcgee

Akron Tax Journal

For more than a decade after the first software tax case was decided, computer software was uniformly classified as intangible for the purpose of sales, use, and personal property taxes, and therefore exempt from taxation. Then, in 1983, the decisions began to go in the other direction, classifying software as tangible and therefore subject to taxation. Ohio courts have played an early and continuing role in the debate over software taxation. This article provides a brief overview of software taxation in general, summarizes the role Ohio courts have played, and compares and contrasts the Ohio position on software taxation with …

Tax Data Disclosure Under The Freedom Of Information Act: Evolution, Issues And Analysis, Mark A. Segal

Akron Tax Journal

In this article an examination and analysis is made of the major provisions of the FOIA, of how the FOIA has been applied in the tax area, and of major emerging issues concerning the FOIA. Particular attention is accorded to the common clash of the FOIA's policy of disclosure with I.R.C. § 6103's general rule of confidentiality and nondisclosure of tax return data.

United States Federal Tax Policy Surrounding The Investment Tax Credit: A Review Of Legislative Intent And Empirical Research Findings Over Thirty Years (1962-1991), Robert E. Rosacker, Richard W. Metcalf

Akron Tax Journal

Congress enacts tax legislation amidst numerous concerns beyond mere revenue raising. Significant congressional tax policy consideration is conferred upon social objectives, equity concerns, administrative matters, and macroeconomic goals. Within the purview of macro-economic goals can be found federal tax policy relating to investments in fixed assets - which assets are depreciable, the allowable depreciation methods, depreciable lives, and the investment tax credit. Federal tax policy concerning the investment tax credit (ITC) is the topic of this article.

The Service's Latest Attempt To Regulate Hospital-Physician Relationships: A Critical Analysis, Patrick H. Lucas

Akron Tax Journal

The Chief Counsel of the exempt organization division of the Internal Revenue Service concluded in the General Counsel Memorandum that each of these rulings should be revoked for three reasons: (1) The transactions violated the proscription against inurement of an exempt organization's earnings to any private individual; (2) the transactions infringed upon the doctrine that an organization must operate for public rather than private benefit in order to be exempt from the income tax; and (3) the transactions may violate federal law and that such violations are inconsistent with exemption from the income tax. Each of these theories is examined …
