The Need For A New Political Playbook Which Mitigates The Public Harm Caused By Tax Incentives, Robert Louis Perkins
The Need For A New Political Playbook Which Mitigates The Public Harm Caused By Tax Incentives, Robert Louis Perkins
Mississippi College Law Review
This article is politically pragmatic and written with a clear acknowledgement that tax incentives will continue to be utilized by policymakers, despite data continuing to reflect that the actual influence tax incentives have in determining where a company or industry locates is often exceeded by their cost. Government investment in public services such as education and infrastructure are often scaled back to accommodate the cost of the incentives.

Defeating Rumpelstiltskin: Why The Temporary Provision That Excludes Student Loan Forgiveness From Gross Income Should Be Made Permanent, Josh Cohron
Mississippi College Law Review
Despite the advances in higher education that have been made in the United States over the years, there is still a crisis in this country concerning student debt and its fallout. One aspect of the student debt crisis that has the potential to loom over many individuals is the taxation of student debt forgiveness. Up until March 11, 2021, when all or part of one’s student debt was discharged, the amount was taxed as ordinary income for the year in which it was forgiven. Fortunately, on that date, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was passed which included a …

Who’S Afraid Of The Big Bad Tax-Free Liquidating Distribution? Ideological Debates On Taxation And The Repeal Of General Utilities, Martin Edwards
Who’S Afraid Of The Big Bad Tax-Free Liquidating Distribution? Ideological Debates On Taxation And The Repeal Of General Utilities, Martin Edwards
Journal Articles
The General Utilities doctrine, named for the 1935 Supreme Court decision allowing a corporation to distribute appreciated assets to shareholders without reporting a taxable gain, was once known as one of seven fundamental principles of American corporate taxation. The doctrine’s popularity reached its peak in 1954, when Congress formally incorporated it into the Internal Revenue Code.
