Most Treasury Regulations, however, are so complex that they cannot be discussed in detail and, anyway, only a devout masochist would read them all the way through; just the basic topic and fundamental principles are highlighted. Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code generally are not discussed except to …

The Matthew Effect And Federal Taxation, Martin J. Mcmahon Jr.
The Matthew Effect And Federal Taxation, Martin J. Mcmahon Jr.
Martin J. McMahon
The “Matthew Effect” is a synonym for the well-known colloquialism, “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” This Article is about the Matthew Effect in the distribution of incomes in the United States and the failure of the federal tax system to address the problem. There has been a strong Matthew Effect in incomes in the United States over the past few decades, with an increasing concentration of income and wealth in the top one percent. Nevertheless, there has been a continuing trend of enacting disproportionately large tax cuts for those at the top of the income pyramid. …

What's Wrong With A Federal Inheritance Tax?, Wendy Gerzog
What's Wrong With A Federal Inheritance Tax?, Wendy Gerzog
Wendy Gerzog
Scholars have proposed a federal inheritance tax as an alternative to the current federal transfer tax system, but there are serious flaws with that idea. Those problems include: (1) different tax rates and exemptions based on the decedent’s relationship to the beneficiary; (2) the lack of a tax on lifetime gratuitous transfers, including gifts with retained interests or control; (3) the persistence of most current valuation distortion abuses; and (4) significantly decreased compliance rates and increased administrative costs inherent in a system that taxes transferees on transactions that may be largely unmonitored.
This article reviews common characteristics of existing inheritance …
Carried Interest Reform For Hedge Fund Managers, John Ye
Carried Interest Reform For Hedge Fund Managers, John Ye
John Ye
Private investment managers’ compensation has been a hot topic since the 2012 presidential campaign. Candidate Romney’s tax returns were highly publicized by the media. Romney’s effective tax rate for his recent 2011 tax year was a paltry 14%.[1] Compared to the notional tax rates on ordinary income from 10% to 40%, this would seem too low for a well-off member of our society who made over $13 million in 2011.
Romney’s response was simply that it was not unfair because most of his income was derived from his investments. To discuss fully about the rationale behind why our tax …
The Death Of The Income Tax: A Progressive Consumption Tax And The Path To Fiscal Reform, Daniel Goldberg
The Death Of The Income Tax: A Progressive Consumption Tax And The Path To Fiscal Reform, Daniel Goldberg
Daniel S. Goldberg
The Death of the Income Tax explains how the current income tax is needlessly complex, contains perverse incentives against saving and investment, fails to use modern technology to ease compliance and collection burdens, and is subject to micromanaging and mismanaging by Congress. Daniel Goldberg proposes that the solution to the problems of the current income tax is completely replacing it with a progressive consumption tax collected electronically at the point of sale.

This article specifically analyzes how §6015 affects women, and the hurdles women face when filing successful claims. This paper explores the current problems with §6015 claims process, and suggests options for the …

Taxing Social Enterprise, Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer, Joseph R. Ganahl
Lloyd Hitoshi Mayer
The fairly strict divide in the United States between for-profit and nonprofit forms presents a quandary for many entrepreneurs who want to combine doing good with doing well. On the one hand, for-profits offer great flexibility and access to capital and so attract entrepreneurs who would like to take advantage of the ability of for-profits to scale up rapidly to meet growing demand. At the same time, however, for-profit forms also limit entrepreneurs’ ability to engage in philanthropy, due to the fiduciary duties managers owe to the equity holders. On the other hand, nonprofits offer their founders the freedom to …
The U.S. Consumption Tax: Evolution, Not Revolution, Daniel Goldberg
The U.S. Consumption Tax: Evolution, Not Revolution, Daniel Goldberg
Daniel S. Goldberg
The article expresses the view that the current Internal Revenue Code has evolved into a hybrid income tax and consumption tax. It begins by explaining the difference between an income tax and a consumption tax and provides the backgrounds of the alternative forms of consumption tax: (1) consumed income, (2) yield exemption, and (3) point-of-sale taxation. Under the consumed income tax model of consumption tax, the individual taxpayer includes all items of income, both from labor and from capital, in its tax base, and then subtracts or deducts the portion of that income that he saves or invests. The resulting …

Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg
Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg
Daniel S. Goldberg
This article discusses how interest has been and is being used in tax planning. The tax planning techniques using interest include charging too little interest or none at all, recalssifying interest as principal and allocating interest among time periods to optimize the tax consequences to the parties. The issues raised by these tax planning techniques go to the heart of the tax system. They suggest inadequacies in the development of the case law and in conventional tax thinking. The unifying principal is the divergence between the possible tax consequences and the clear economic consequences of each of the transactions. The …
E Tax: The Flat Tax As An Electronic Credit Vat, Daniel S. Goldberg
E Tax: The Flat Tax As An Electronic Credit Vat, Daniel S. Goldberg
Daniel S. Goldberg
The article builds on the Hall-Rabushka Flat Tax and proposes a consumption tax called the “E Tax,” which is an electronically collected credit invoice VAT. The Hall-Rabushka Flat Tax is a two-tier consumption tax that is based on a subtraction method VAT. The Hall-Rabushka nuance, however, allows a deduction for wages as if they were purchases of materials by the employer. Wage earners would be taxed on those wages at rates that could be set as graduated or flat, with or without a zero rate or bracket amount and with or without personal exemptions and deductions. Hall and Rabushka proposed …
