The Reenactment And Inaction Doctrines In State Tax Litigation, Steve R. Johnson
The Reenactment And Inaction Doctrines In State Tax Litigation, Steve R. Johnson
Scholarly Publications
This installment of Interpretation Matters discusses two related canons of statutory interpretation and illustrates their use in state and local tax controversies. Assume that a state revenue agency or court construes a tax statute and that the construction is later challenged in another case. Between the two cases, the state legislature reenacts the provision without changing it or the legislature takes no action to amend the provision to overturn the construction in the first case. Some courts treat the reenactment without change, or even the inaction, as evidence that the legislature agreed with the construction in the first case, so …

Substance And Form In State Taxation, Steve R. Johnson
Substance And Form In State Taxation, Steve R. Johnson
Scholarly Publications
In the interpretation of tax statutes, a venerable principle is that “taxation should move in an atmosphere of practical realities rather than amid the intricate and wooden concepts” of legal formalities. That principle is familiar in federal taxation, and it holds no less sway in state and local taxation. Indeed, the idea that the substance of a transaction usually controls over the form of the transaction is not confined to taxation; it is a principle of U.S. law generally.
The principle commands that the underlying reality of the events usually determines tax consequence; the forms or labels attached to the …
Rethinking Tax Nexus And Apportionment: Voice, Exit, And The Dormant Commerce Clause, Edward A. Zelinsky
Rethinking Tax Nexus And Apportionment: Voice, Exit, And The Dormant Commerce Clause, Edward A. Zelinsky
Faculty Articles
The dormant Commerce Clause concept of tax nexus is best understood as a rough, but serviceable, proxy for the taxpayer's standing in the political process. This perspective leads me to defend Quill Corporation v. North Dakota and the much maligned physical presence test for tax nexus. As a matter of legislative policy, the critics of this test may be correct. However, as a matter of constitutional law, the courts should adhere to an expanded physical presence standard as Congress crafts for the long term broader nexus rules based on economic presence. Taxation is an inherently and irreducibly political matter. An …

Tax As Urban Legend, Anthony C. Infanti
Tax As Urban Legend, Anthony C. Infanti

In this essay, I review UC-Berkeley history professor Robin Einhorn's book, American Taxation, American Slavery. In this provocatively-titled book, Einhorn traces the relationship between democracy, taxation, and slavery from colonial times through the antebellum period. By re-telling some of the most familiar set piece stories of American history through the lens of slavery, Einhorn reveals how the stories that we tell ourselves over and over again about taxation and politics in America are little more than the stuff of urban legend.
In the review, I provide a brief summary of Einhorn's discussion of the relationship between slavery and colonial taxation, …
Federal Fairness To State Taxpayers: Irrationality, Unfunded Mandates, And The 'Salt' Deduction, Brian Galle
Federal Fairness To State Taxpayers: Irrationality, Unfunded Mandates, And The 'Salt' Deduction, Brian Galle
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
By sheer dollars alone, the largest impact of the Alternative Minimum Tax is to deny many taxpayers the deduction for the taxes they paid to their state and local governments under § 164 of the Internal Revenue Code. This Article provides a fine-grained analysis of the overall fairness of the state- and local-tax deduction ¿ and, by implication, the fairness of its partial repeal through the Alternative Minimum Tax. I offer for the first time a close examination of how newly understood limits on taxpayer mobility and rationality might affect individuals' choices of bundles of local taxes and local government …
Requiem For Pennsylvania's Rule Against Perpetuities?, Martha Jordan
Requiem For Pennsylvania's Rule Against Perpetuities?, Martha Jordan
Martha W. Jordan
The purpose of this article is not to debate the wisdom of repealing the rule against perpetuities but to highlight two arcane problems created by the repeal. Both of these problems derive from the interaction of the doctrine of relation back with powers of appointments. The doctrine of relation back deems the exercise of a special or a testamentary general power of appointment as the completion of an act begun by the donor when the power was created. Consequently, the perpetuities period for contingent interests created by the exercise of a special or a testamentary general power of appointment begins …
