Public Policy And The Missing Link: A Progress Report On The Design And Implementation Of The Massachusetts Linked Deposit Program, Jim T. Campen

John M. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies Publications

The idea underlying the Massachusetts Linked Deposit Program (LDP), which has been operated by the Treasurer since 1978, is that a portion of the money in the state's General Fund is deposited in Massachusetts banks, with the amounts awarded to individual banks linked to their performance in serving the people and communities of Massachusetts.

Faculty Articles and Papers

Under current New York law, taxpayers who contest their assessments must rely upon a system of review conducted by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. Taxpayers, lawyers, and accountants have strongly attacked this system.1 Critical comment has also come from other, disinterested quarters. A 1975 report by the Governor's Task Force on Court Reform, for example, concluded that "the power to adjudicate tax disputes now given the State Tax Commission should be withdrawn from it."

Federal Law And State Corporate Income Taxes, Charles E. Mclure, Jr. Jan 1985

Federal Law And State Corporate Income Taxes, Charles E. Mclure, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Beginning as early as 1959, when the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Northwestern States Portland Cement and Stockham Valves, the business community has repeatedly asked that federal legislation be enacted to restrict the scope of permissible state action in taxing corporate income. In the intervening quarter century, the only federal legislation on state corporate income tax was P.L. 86-272, which restricted the ability of states to tax a nondomiciliary company when the company's only activity in the state was the solicitation of sales. In 1983 following the Court's decision in Container Corporation of America, foreign corporations and foreign …
