The Outer Limits Of Realization: Weiss V. Stearn And Corporate Dilution, Jeffrey L. Kwall, Katherine K. Wilbur

Jeffrey L. Kwall

The United States Supreme Court's 1924 Weiss v. Stearn decision involved a classic case of corporate dilution. In that case, a corporation ("Oldco') transferred its business to a new corporation ("Newco ') in a transaction in which the Oldco shareholders surrendered all their stock for 50 percent of the stock of Newco (and cash). The transaction diluted the proprietary interest of the Oldco shareholders from 100 percent to 50 percent. Because the Oldco shareholders surrendered control of the enterprise, the 50 percent interest they received in Newco was fundamentally different from the 100 percent interest they had owned in Oldco. …

What Is A Merger?: The Case For Taxing Cash Mergers Like Stock Sales., Jeffrey L. Kwall Aug 2012

What Is A Merger?: The Case For Taxing Cash Mergers Like Stock Sales., Jeffrey L. Kwall

Jeffrey L. Kwall

In a merger, neither the assets nor the stock of one corporation are physically transferred to another corporation. Rather, the two corporations are unified by operation of law. The absence of a physical transfer of assets or stock obscures the tax effects of a merger. To determine these effects, a merger must be analogized to a sale of assets or a sale of stock. These alternative analogies yield significantly different results when the consideration for the merger is cash. When a cash merger is analogized to an asset sale, a 35% corporate tax is normally imposed. By contrast, no corporate …

Rather, the tax on asset appreciation is deferred until the occurrence of a realization event; that is, until the property is transferred in exchange for money or other consideration. By contrast, all other forms of income (e.g., salary, rents) are taxed immediately. The realization requirement is one of the most basic elements of the United States income tax. Due to this requirement, any increase in …
