Doping Out The Capitalization Rules After Indopco, John W. Lee Nov 1992

Doping Out The Capitalization Rules After Indopco, John W. Lee

Faculty Publications

In this article, Lee provides guidance for Treasury and the IRS (in their promised clarification of application of INDOPCO). He delineates how to avoid what he perceives as the past pitfalls of capitalization of recurring, insubstantial, or relatively short-lived expenditures with Ito, or inadequate, amortization. The article also sets forth models for (a) amortizing as. a freestanding deferred charge long-lived substantial self-created intangibles such as business expansion costs, including employee training costs, and (b) expensing, or perhaps better, amortizing currently less substantial or regularly recurring, steady state self-created intangibles (such as repairs and advertising, respectively).

Federal Taxation, Steven C. Evans Jul 1992

Federal Taxation, Steven C. Evans

Mercer Law Review

The federal tax cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit during 1991 reversed one trend and continued another trend of 1990. The Eleventh Circuit decided a number of procedural tax cases during 1991. This trend is similar to the number of procedural cases decided in years prior to 1990, but is substantially more than the number of procedural cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit in 1990. Cases decided under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended, continued to constitute the majority of the substantive tax cases decided by the Eleventh Circuit during 1991.

Does Treasury Have Authority To Index Basis For Inflation?, Lawrence A. Zelenak Jan 1992

Does Treasury Have Authority To Index Basis For Inflation?, Lawrence A. Zelenak

Faculty Scholarship

In this article he examines the claim, which has been publicized in recent months, that the Treasury Department could unilaterally index the capital gains tax for inflation by a new regulation interpreting code section 1012. He concludes, in light of more than seven decades of administrative, judicial and legislative history, that such unilateral action would be invalid.


Income Tax Rhetoric (Or Why Do We Want Tax Reform?), Beverly I. Moran Jan 1992

Income Tax Rhetoric (Or Why Do We Want Tax Reform?), Beverly I. Moran

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The 1992 presidential election is over but the United States economy still faces hard times. Each man who hoped to lead us promised to revive our sick economy, and each cure promised included a strong dose of tax reform. At no time during the campaign or the transition did anyone seem to ask: Can tax reform actually increase employment, lower the deficit, nwerse our trade imbalance, or provide any other boost out of the recession? Why do Americans accept the notion that economic recovery requires tax reform? We did not always think this way. Why does it seem so natural …

Tax Expenditure Budgets: A Critical View, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman Jan 1992

Tax Expenditure Budgets: A Critical View, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman

Articles

During the past few months, Tax Notes has featured an extended discussion about the "normalcy" (or lack thereof) of accelerated depreciation. Two contributions to that discussion came from Professor Calvin Johnson of the University of Texas Law School, who disagreed with certain aspects of an article that Professor Kahn wrote in 1979. And the debate shows no sign of slowing down. The interchange over the details of accelerated depreciation offers a useful backdrop against which to consider a more general issue: the intellectual coherence of the tax expenditure budgets. The larger concept of tax expenditures was what motivated Kahn to …


Tax Policy And Panda Bears, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman Jan 1992

Tax Policy And Panda Bears, Douglas A. Kahn, Jeffrey S. Lehman

Articles

In this article. Professors Kahn and Lehman argue that the concept of tax expenditure is flawed as a tool for measuring the propriety of tax provisions. It assumes the existence of on true and correct standard of federal income taxation that applies to all circumstances. To make that a assumption, the proponents of the concept implicitly make a particular moral claim about the relative importance of a wide range of values, including efficiency, consumption/savings neutrality, privacy, distributional equity, administrabiliy, charity, and pragmatism. They then measure a tax provision's "normalcy" exclusively by how it conforms to their Platonic concept of income. …
