Where Do We Go Now? The Uncertain Future For 29 U.S.C. § 1301(B)(1), Private Equity Funds, And Multiemployer Pension Plans After Sun Capita, Crighton T. Allen Jan 2014

Where Do We Go Now? The Uncertain Future For 29 U.S.C. § 1301(B)(1), Private Equity Funds, And Multiemployer Pension Plans After Sun Capita, Crighton T. Allen

Georgia Law Review

The United States faces a growing problem concerning corporate indebtedness to pension plans, specifically, multi-employer pension plans (MEPPs). MEPPs are group pension plans in which a number of employers join together to contribute to a fund benefitting all employees of the participating companies.

The Problem Of Abusive Related-Partner Allocations, Gregg D. Polsky, Emily Cauble Jan 2014

The Problem Of Abusive Related-Partner Allocations, Gregg D. Polsky, Emily Cauble

Scholarly Works

This Article highlights a flaw in the existing rules regarding partnership tax allocations that has not yet received sufficient attention by existing literature. Namely, the partnership tax allocation rules are implicitly premised on the assumption that partners are unrelated and, thus, transact with each other at arm’s length. As a result, related partners can and do devise tax allocation schemes that exploit the gap in the current partnership tax allocation rules to achieve unwarranted tax savings.

This Article proposes to end this abuse by disallowing special allocations among related partners. Under the proposal, allocations among related partners would be required …
