The Taxation Of Interest -- Free Loans, James T. O'Hare
The Taxation Of Interest -- Free Loans, James T. O'Hare
Vanderbilt Law Review
The dramatic rise in interest rates in the United States in the past few years has given added significance to the uncertain tax consequences of interest-free loans made between family members, between corporations and shareholders, and between affiliated corporations. Such loans can create a variety of tax problems depending on the relationship of the parties. An interest-free loan from one family member to another may constitute a gift equal in value to the use of the money loaned or even to the amount of the entire principal. A corporation that makes an interest-free loan to one of its shareholders not …
The Original Issue Discount Deduction In Bonds-For-Noncash Property Exchanges, Charles L. Almond
The Original Issue Discount Deduction In Bonds-For-Noncash Property Exchanges, Charles L. Almond
Vanderbilt Law Review
The first codification of the United States Internal Revenue laws gave a corporation a deduction from income of "[a]ll interest paid or accrued within the taxable year on its indebtedness. ...This same language is presently in force in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The statutory language authorizing the interest deduction has never dealt explicitly with the deductibility of discount arising upon a corporation's original issuance of bonds. Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to the interest deduction sections, however, have recognized continually that the statutory language embodies a deduction for original issue discount. 'The latest pre-1969 regulation, which limits itself to …
Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine
Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine
Vanderbilt Law Review
The present treatment of appreciated assets under section 1014' of the Code permits a great deal of accrued appreciation to escape the income tax. While decedents pay a greater estate tax because asset appreciation swells their estates, they pay no gains tax at death on this accrued appreciation. Moreover, the recipients of the decedent's property generally take a stepped-up basis for the property equal to its fair market value at the time of death. A great deal of criticism has been leveled at this system, and numerous proposals have been made for remedying the situation: imposition of a capital gains …

Public Law 86-272: Legislative Ambiguities And Judicial Difficulties, John S. Bryant
Vanderbilt Law Review
Expanding concepts of the services that state governments should perform for their citizens have prompted within recent years entry by the states into fields of endeavor formerly left to private enterprise. Coupled with the upward spiral of the cost of goods and services, expanded responsibilities undertaken by the states have increased greatly the pressure on state taxing authorities to produce revenues sufficient to cover expenses of government. Beset by fiscal problems, the states have attempted to take maximum advantage of existing revenue sources and to tap new ones. Although sales and use taxes have been the primary source of state …

Recent Developments, Craig G. Christensen
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The debacle of the Nationalist regime in China and the subsequent United States trade embargo on the People's Republic of China (China) from 1949 to 1970, resulted in the deletion or obsolescence of United States federal income tax incentives previously applicable to Sino-American trade. The benefits of these tax provisions were transferred, with the Nationalist government, to the Taiwan-based Republic of China (Taiwan). Moreover, foreign trade tax measures enacted during the economic stalemate were largely inapplicable to China, but enhanced existing trade with Taiwan and Hong Kong. Initial United States responses to the current detente with China portend increasingly significant …
