"Cut—And That's A Wrap"—The Film Industry's Fleecing Of State Tax Incentive Programs, Randle B. Pollard Jan 2016

"Cut—And That's A Wrap"—The Film Industry's Fleecing Of State Tax Incentive Programs, Randle B. Pollard

Scholarly Articles

State tax incentives for the film industry will remain part of the economic development program of many states despite recent troubled programs and calls by public advocacy groups to reign in or eliminate such programs. Some states have reduced or eliminated their film industry incentive programs, but accountability remains an issue for the forty-five percent of states with film incentive programs that do not require audit verification or substantiation of the benefits gained from the programs. The U.S. film industry continues to grow and there is opportunity for states with well-developed programs and rigorous compliance standards to be successful—providing net …


"Was The Deal Worth It?": The Dilemma Of States With Ineffective Economic Incentives Programs, Randle B. Pollard Jan 2015

"Was The Deal Worth It?": The Dilemma Of States With Ineffective Economic Incentives Programs, Randle B. Pollard

Scholarly Articles

Federal subsidies to state and local governments have been substantially reduced due to public opinion prioritizing the reduction of the federal deficit, the recent "fiscal cliff" legislation, and the federal budget "sequester cuts." In addition, in many states, revenue collection from individual and corporate income tax is below prerecession levels. To address the reduction in federal funding and reduced revenue collections, state and local governments will increasingly rely on economic incentive programs to grow their economies through increased job creation and private capital investment within their jurisdictions. These economic incentive programs are no longer comprised of simple tax reductions for …


Who’S Going To Pick Up The Trash? Using The Build America Bond Program To Help State And Local Governments’ Cash Deficits, Randle B. Pollard Jan 2011

Who’S Going To Pick Up The Trash? Using The Build America Bond Program To Help State And Local Governments’ Cash Deficits, Randle B. Pollard

Scholarly Articles

All over the United States, state and local governments are facing increasing revenue deficits due to the current economic recession. Even during good economic times, state and local governments experience temporary cash-flow deficits. State and local governments use short-term municipal bond debt to finance temporary cash-flow deficits caused by the normal erratic collection of tax revenue. The issuance of short-term debt secured by future tax revenue has always been a financing tool that helped local governments with cash-flow problems.

The effects of the subprime mortgage crisis and the current recession threaten state and local governments’ ability to use this financial …

Beyond Batsa: State Taxation Without State Boundaries?, Neil V. Birkhoff

Washington and Lee Law Review

In his Note, Beyond BA TSA: Getting Serious About State Corporate Tax Reform, Quinn Ryan provides us with the following: (1) an overview of the problem of diminishing state corporate tax revenues;2 (2) the basic legal principles applicable in administering state corporate income taxes;3 and (3) a history of the development of state tax nexus standards.4 Ryan uses the Business Activity Tax Simplification Act of 2009 (BATSA) to point out where reform is necessary and argues that BATSA is not the answer.6 While Ryan notes the myriad of problems with corporate income tax apportionment statutes 7 he leaves the mechanics …


The Difficulty Of Getting Serious About State Corporate Tax Reform, Charles E. Mcclure Jan 2010

The Difficulty Of Getting Serious About State Corporate Tax Reform, Charles E. Mcclure

Washington and Lee Law Review

In his Note, Beyond BATSA: Getting Serious About Corporate Tax Reform,1 Quinn Ryan examines several common defects of state corporate income taxes that, in isolation or in combination, create distortions, inequities, and complexity, and argues for federal legislation that would substantially reduce the problems he describes. I will expand a bit on Ryan's analysis, review some history, and argue that neither multilateral state action nor federal legislation-especially legislation that would not make matters worse-is likely to occur.


Beyond Batsa: Getting Serious About State Corporate Tax Reform, Quinn T. Ryan Jan 2010

Beyond Batsa: Getting Serious About State Corporate Tax Reform, Quinn T. Ryan

Washington and Lee Law Review

The state corporate income tax system is broken, and only Congress can fix it. The current state of affairs is problematic for states, burdensome for multistate corporations,2 and unfair to smaller, local businesses.3 States are unable to resolve these problems themselves; federal intervention is the only solution.
