Federal Income Tax—Amoritization And The Expansion Sports Franchise—First Northwest Industries Of America, Inc. V. Commissioner, 70 T.C. 817 (1978), Roberta Reiff Katz

Washington Law Review

This note will first discuss past taxation practices of professional sports franchises. It will explain the "mass asset theory" as it has been applied to intangible assets outside the sports context and then examine the conflicting positions of the IRS and the Sonics as to the theory's applicability to the expansion franchise. Next, it will discuss the Tax Court's reasons for deciding not to apply the theory in First Northwest and suggest that the Ninth Circuit should similarly conclude that the theory is inappropriate in the context of expansion franchises.

The Haitian Vacation: The Applicability Of Sham Doctrine To Year-End Divorces, Michigan Law Review May 1979

The Haitian Vacation: The Applicability Of Sham Doctrine To Year-End Divorces, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note examines the propriety of applying the sham doctrine to tax-motivated divorces. Section I outlines the evolution of the sham doctrine from its exposition in Gregory v. Helvering through its expression in two different tests for commercial transactions. Section II then studies the relationship between state divorce law and the marital status provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to demonstrate the clear congressional preference for incorporating state law by reference rather than creating an independent federal law of marriage. It also examines the history of the 1969 Tax Reform Act in a vain effort to discern a congressional desire …

Accumulated Earnings Tax And Stock Redemptions - Further Thoughts On The Reasonable Business Needs Test, Michael S. Weiner, Bruce M. Graham Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

Few penalty taxes have been imposed with the frequency of the tax on unreasonable accumulations of corporate earnings and profits. Any corporation "formed or availed of for the purpose of avoiding income tax with respect to its shareholders by permitting earnings and profits to accumulate instead of being divided or distributed" is subject to the tax.
