State Taxation Of Interstate Business And The Supreme Court, 1974 Term: Standard Pressed Steel And Colonial Pipeline, Walter Hellerstein Feb 1976

State Taxation Of Interstate Business And The Supreme Court, 1974 Term: Standard Pressed Steel And Colonial Pipeline, Walter Hellerstein

Scholarly Works

It was an item of more than routine interest when the Supreme Court, late in the 1973 term, noted probable jurisdiction in two cases raising issues of central importance with respect to state tax power over interstate business. Standard Pressed Steel Co. v. Department of Revenue presented critical questions concerning due process and commerce clause limitations on a state's power to impose an unapportioned gross receipts tax on an interstate vendor; Colonial Pipeline Co. v. Traigle posed the recurring and unresolved question of the scope and vitality of the doctrine that the “privilege” of doing interstate business is immune from …

Section 335 Active Business Management: What Advice To Give Clients Today, John W. Lee Jan 1976

Section 335 Active Business Management: What Advice To Give Clients Today, John W. Lee

Faculty Publications

The IRS in three Rulings has taken the position that services for the distributing corporation performed through independent contractor could not satisfy the active business requirement test of Section 355. Mr. Lee analyzes the Rulings in light of case law and legislative history that have interpreted the Code's active business test. He concludes that further court tests will be necessary before there can be complete reliance upon active conduct by an independent contractor.


How To Salvage Tax Benefits When A Professional Corporation Disbands, John W. Lee Jan 1976

How To Salvage Tax Benefits When A Professional Corporation Disbands, John W. Lee

Faculty Publications

One of the main concerns of a shareholder in a professional corporation that is dissolving is to protect his interest in the corporation's qualified deferred compensation plan. By use of a case study, Mr. Lee analyzes several methods available for a shareholder to preserve his interest. He also presents a possible solution to other problems arising in connection with the professional corporation's dissolution, such as splitting up the practice (and its accounts receivable) and the status of liquidating distributions if the professionals reincorporate separately.


Michelin Tire Corp. V. Wages: Enhanced State Power To Tax Imports, Walter Hellerstein Jan 1976

Michelin Tire Corp. V. Wages: Enhanced State Power To Tax Imports, Walter Hellerstein

Scholarly Works

In Michelin Tire Corp. v. Wages, the Supreme Court abandoned a century of precedent in holding that the Import-Export Clause does not bar a state from imposing a nondiscriminatory ad valorem property tax on imported goods. The provision forbidding the states from laying "any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports" was never intended to prohibit such a levy, the Court now tells us, and the case first suggesting that it did, Low v. Austin, was "wrong decided." Over a mild protest of Mr. Justice White, the Court thus obviated any examination of the principal issue the parties …

Reconciling Business Purpose With Bail-Out Prevention: Federal Tax Policy And Corporate Divisions, Stephen B. Cohen Jan 1976

Reconciling Business Purpose With Bail-Out Prevention: Federal Tax Policy And Corporate Divisions, Stephen B. Cohen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Corporate divisions-spin-offs, split-offs, and split-ups-unfortunately pose a more complex problem than Senator Humphrey's childlike vision would lead one to believe: the reconciliation of competing goals of maximizing business flexibility and minimizing tax avoidance. It is widely believed that divisions are essential to business planning; thus, tax-free treatment promotes business flexibility. Yet, an untaxed division may allow tax avoidance through "bail-out" of corporate earnings and profits at capital gain rates.
