Interstate Corporate Income Taxation-Recent Revolutions And A Modern Response, Eugene F. Corrigan
Vanderbilt Law Review
In recent years significant technical advances have enabled large corporations to sell into states from great distances and with a minimum of contact in those states. Nevertheless, the states and their political subdivisions are confronted with the claims of corporations that jurisdictional barriers to corporate income taxes should be raised, that improved enforcement techniques should be prohibited, and that certain classes of income should be immunized completely from state taxation. These revolutionary technical advances have created both major tax administration problems and tax administration opportunities for the states. Some of the latter, however, remain unexploited. This article examines the ramifications …
Is A Partnership Under The Uniform Partnership Act An Aggregate Or An Entity?, A. Ladru Jensen
Is A Partnership Under The Uniform Partnership Act An Aggregate Or An Entity?, A. Ladru Jensen
Vanderbilt Law Review
The conflict in entity versus aggregate views of a partnership is materially lessened in those jurisdictions which have removed the procedural disability of partnerships to be sued in their own names. The advantages secured by having a procedural statute allowing partnerships to be sued in their own names argue strongly for the adoption of such act in all of the states having the Uniform Partnership Act, as is indicated by the foregoing analysis.

Taxpayer's Paradise In The Caribbean, Robert M. Baker, James E. Curry
Taxpayer's Paradise In The Caribbean, Robert M. Baker, James E. Curry
Vanderbilt Law Review
A new industrial tax exemption statute became law in Puerto Rico on May 12, 1947. This island possession of the United States, located eight hours away from New York's LaGuardia field is already free of all federal income taxation.

But industrialists who operate under the new exemption will be free of both federal and insular income taxes, as well as property and other local taxes.
