Recent Developments In Federal Income Taxation: The Year 2011, Martin Mcmahon, Ira Shepard, Daniel Simmons
Recent Developments In Federal Income Taxation: The Year 2011, Martin Mcmahon, Ira Shepard, Daniel Simmons
Martin J. McMahon
This recent developments outline discusses, and provides context to understand the significance of, the most important judicial decisions and administrative rulings and regulations promulgated by the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department during the most recent twelve months - and sometimes a little farther back in time if we find the item particularly humorous or outrageous. Most Treasury Regulations, however, are so complex that they cannot be discussed in detail and, anyway, only a devout masochist would read them all the way through; just the basic topic and fundamental principles are highlighted - unless one of us decides to go …

The Non-Sense Tax: A Reply To New Corporate Income Tax Advocacy, Yariv Brauner
The Non-Sense Tax: A Reply To New Corporate Income Tax Advocacy, Yariv Brauner
Yariv Brauner
This Article challenges recent attempts by influential scholars to rationalize the existence of the corporate income tax. The corporate income tax has long been considered unjustifiable on traditional tax policy grounds. The new justifications recognize this, yet argue that the tax is still desirable because it promotes other goals, such as improvement of corporate governance and restraint of undesirable corporate management power accumulation. This Article demonstrates that the existence and magnitude of these alleged benefits of the corporate income tax are doubtful. Yet, the Article argues, even if taken as correct, the recent rationalization of the corporate income tax cannot …
An International Tax Regime In Crystallization, Yariv Brauner
An International Tax Regime In Crystallization, Yariv Brauner
Yariv Brauner
The grand illusion of a single, worldwide, tax system that will eliminate all international inefficiencies, and assist all the nations of the world to maximize their relative advantages, is, as commonly accepted, utopian. The tax, academic and professional, writing in the field of international taxation, and cross-border interaction, between tax systems and jurisdictions has grown, exponentially, in the last decade, but no significant work has been done to prove, or disprove, the naivety of this hypothesis. Some scholars and tax executives, in certain international organizations, have discussed ideas along this line, but no single organization has, seriously, attempted to promote …
The Discursive Failure In Comparative Tax Law, Omri Marian
The Discursive Failure In Comparative Tax Law, Omri Marian
Omri Y Marian
Tax comparatists tend to bemoan the grim status of their chosen field. Complaints are aimed both at the scarcity of decent comparative legal tax scholarship, and at the lack of a theoretical foundation for the study of comparative tax law. The purpose of this Article is to portray a more sanguine, yet critical, view of this field. Sanguine, since a sympathetic reading of contemporary comparative tax scholarship demonstrates that there is more than enough such scholarship to generate a lively debate on comparative tax works and their methodologies. Critical, since all of these works fail to produce even the faintest …
Tax In The Cathedral: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Tax, Andrew Blair-Stanek
Tax In The Cathedral: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Tax, Andrew Blair-Stanek
Andrew Blair-Stanek
The distinction between property rules and liability rules has revolutionized our understanding of many areas of law. But scholars have long assumed that this distinction has no relevance to tax law. This assumption is flatly wrong. Tax law currently uses both property rules and liability rules, and the choice between them has real consequences. When a taxpayer violates a requirement for a favorable tax status, tax law either imposes additional tax proportionate to the harm (a liability rule) or imposes the draconian penalty of taking away the tax status entirely (a property rule). This recognition has three key implications. First, …
