Proposed Legislative Solutions To Tax Shelter Partnership Abuses - The End Of The Aggregate Concept?, Thomas E. Settles

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note first will set forth the Treasury Department's perception of the present abuses of tax shelter partnerships and will analyze existing procedural rules, the Treasury Department's proposed amendments, and the House of Representatives' proposed amendments in light of these abuses. Next, the Note will examine the substantive law of Subchapter K and will attempt to point out the probable effects of the proposed amendments on the aggregate concept of partnerships, on substantive partnership tax law, and on the viability of the partnership form of business. Finally, this Note will propose a solution to the problem of tax shelter partnership …

Section 243 And Bootstrap Sales: The Dilemma Of The Corporate Shareholder, Don B. Cannada Oct 1978

Section 243 And Bootstrap Sales: The Dilemma Of The Corporate Shareholder, Don B. Cannada

Vanderbilt Law Review

The differences in the tax treatment of dividends and redemptions, the tax goals of individual and corporate shareholders, and the characterizations given corporate distributions by the Internal Revenue Service and the courts have combined to create over-whelming confusion for corporate bootstrap sales. The purpose of this Note is to formulate a rational, consistent approach to the tax treatment of corporate bootstrap sales. Accordingly, this Note initially will discuss various lines of cases governing the possible tax treatment of the seller in a bootstrap acquisition. Special emphasis will be placed on the recent line of cases that deny section 243 intercorporate …

Tax Avoidance, Alan Gunn Apr 1978

Tax Avoidance, Alan Gunn

Michigan Law Review

This Article attempts an almost purely negative criticism. I contend that efforts to explain the results of tax cases not involving penalties by reference to "tax avoidance" are never satisfactory, whether the reference is meant to describe a taxpayer's state of mind or to justify a tax rule by invoking some "need to prevent tax avoidance." Because many tax problems are commonly discussed in terms of "tax avoidance" in one of these senses, and in order to avoid the impression that my arguments would leave the tax law in shambles, I shall suggest some alternative ways of dealing with these …

Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming Jan 1978

Virginia Wealth Transfer Tax- Proposed Alternatives, Michael D. Flemming

University of Richmond Law Review

House Resolution 34, which was approved by the House of Delegates during the 1977 session of the Virginia General Assembly, observed that Virginia's inheritance and gift tax laws have remained essentially unchanged for more than 50 years and commissioned a study of those laws "in light of recent developments."' The proponents of House Resolution 34 no doubt had the 1976 amendments to the federal estate and gift tax laws fresh on their minds. But in addition to the federal changes, several of the states have altered their approach to transfer taxation in recent years. These changes expand the options available …
