Standing On The Shoulders Of Llcs: Tax Entity Status And Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, Samuel D. Brunson Mar 2023

Standing On The Shoulders Of Llcs: Tax Entity Status And Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, Samuel D. Brunson

Georgia Law Review

Since the formation of the first decentralized autonomous organization in 2016, their use has exploded. Thousands of DAOs now try to take advantage of smart contracts to solve a problem that plagues business entities: the gulf between ownership and management. Armed with smart contracts and requiring token-holders to vote on any change in strategy, DAOs dispense with the management layer so necessary in traditional business entities.

DAOs owe their existence to technology. Without blockchain, without cryptocurrency, and without smart contracts, there would be no DAOs. But they owe their explosive to something much more unexpected: Treasury regulations.

In the wake …


Stay Schemin’: Tax Court’S Recent Ruling On Credit Card Rewards And The Impact This Ruling Has On Future Rewards Programs, Hunter Davis Mar 2023

Stay Schemin’: Tax Court’S Recent Ruling On Credit Card Rewards And The Impact This Ruling Has On Future Rewards Programs, Hunter Davis

Georgia Law Review

Beyond the utility of actual “credit,” the most important perk cardholders seek to capitalize on are the rewards that each cardholder’s particular credit card offers. Cardholders look for the most bang for their buck in terms of rewards and points. Ranging from frequent flyer miles to cash back to everything in between, rewards programs have expanded and diversified rapidly over the past several decades, and consumers cannot get enough. So much so that the question of whether, and when, consumer loyalty rewards should be taxable has arisen and persists today. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Tax Court have …


Pay Toll With Coins: Looking Back On Fbar Penalties And Prosecutions To Inform The Future Of Cryptocurrency Taxation, Caroline T. Parnass Jan 2020

Pay Toll With Coins: Looking Back On Fbar Penalties And Prosecutions To Inform The Future Of Cryptocurrency Taxation, Caroline T. Parnass

Georgia Law Review

Cryptocurrencies are gaining a foothold in the global
economy, and the government wants its cut. However, few
people are reporting cryptocurrency transactions on their tax
returns. How will the IRS solve its cryptocurrency
noncompliance problem? Its response so far bears many
similarities to the government’s campaign to increase Reports
of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBARs). FBAR
noncompliance penalties are notoriously harsh, and the
government has pursued them vigorously. This Note explores
the connections and differences between cryptocurrency
reporting and foreign bank account reporting in an effort to
predict the future regime of cryptocurrency tax compliance.


Sinking The Island Of Constitutional Tax Immunity: A Uniform Approach To State Taxes On Goods In Transit Under The Import-Export Clause, Warren F. Smith Jan 2019

Sinking The Island Of Constitutional Tax Immunity: A Uniform Approach To State Taxes On Goods In Transit Under The Import-Export Clause, Warren F. Smith

Georgia Law Review

The Framers of the U.S. Constitution adopted the
Import-Export Clause to prohibit the states from
interfering in international relations, to preserve import
revenue for the federal government, and to ensure
harmony between the states. The purposive inquiry
established by Michelin and Washington Stevedoring is
applied for all imports and exports except one category:
export goods in transit. The pre-Michelin decision,
Richfield Oil, provides complete constitutional tax
immunity for export goods in transit. This island of
constitutional tax immunity forces local taxpayers to
subsidize exporters and foreign consumers and unfairly
burdens coastal states with the regulatory,
administrative, and environmental costs of …


Guidance Is Definitive, Reality Is Frequently Inaccurate: The Lingering Saga Of Rev. Rul. 91-32, Robert L. Daily Jan 2019

Guidance Is Definitive, Reality Is Frequently Inaccurate: The Lingering Saga Of Rev. Rul. 91-32, Robert L. Daily

Georgia Law Review

Partnership and international taxation are two of the
most mind-numbing and inconsistent areas of the law.
Even more confusion occurs when the two intersect, such
as when a nonresident sells an interest in a U.S.
partnership. Many have wasted precious time and
abundant ink to come up with a solution. The IRS first
tried in Rev. Rul. 91-32, concluding that a nonresident
would be subject to tax if the partnership had assets
producing income generated from property in United
States. Although the guidance was appropriately
criticized for being statutorily inconsistent, this Note
argues that it nonetheless got to the right …


America’S (D)Evolving Childcare Tax Laws, Shannon W. Mccormack Jan 2019

America’S (D)Evolving Childcare Tax Laws, Shannon W. Mccormack

Georgia Law Review

Proponents touted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the
TCJA)—enacted in the twilight of 2017—by claiming it
would help American working families. But while the
TCJA expanded some benefits available to parents with
dependent children, these parental tax benefits may be
claimed regardless of whether or to what extent
childcare costs are incurred to work outside the home.
To help working parents with these (often significant)
costs, Congress might have turned to two other
mechanisms in the tax law—the “child and dependent
care credit” and the “dependent care exclusion.” While
these childcare tax benefits are only available to working
parents …

Branding Taxation, Xuan-Thao Nguyen, Jeffrey A. Maine Jan 2016

Branding Taxation, Xuan-Thao Nguyen, Jeffrey A. Maine

Georgia Law Review

Branding is important not only to businesses, but also to the economy. The intellectual property laws and tax laws should thus further the legitimate goals of encouraging and protecting brand investments while maintaining a sound tax base. Intellectual property protections for branding depend on advertisement and enforcement, both of which demand significant amounts of private investment by firms. Although one would expect similar tax treatments of both categories of investment, the categories are actually treated as vastly different for federal income tax purposes. Under the current tax system, advertising costs incurred to foster brand equality are generally expensed whereas litigation …
