From Gregory To Enron: The Too Perfect Theory And Tax Law, Christopher H. Hanna
From Gregory To Enron: The Too Perfect Theory And Tax Law, Christopher H. Hanna
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Although financial writers have been using magic terms in describing tax law (and accounting reporting), do such terms and theories really have a place in the law? This Article will show that there is a connection between magic and tax law. In a sense, tax lawyers are magicians in that they are able to structure transactions in a manner to minimize taxes, in many cases, to the complete bewilderment of their clients. Tax lawyers are constantly striving to structure transactions in ways that will withstand scrutiny from both the government and the courts. Experienced and well-informed tax lawyers know, however, …
Special Allocations And Preferential Distributions In Joint Ventures Involving Taxable And Tax Exempt Entities, Darryll K. Jones
Special Allocations And Preferential Distributions In Joint Ventures Involving Taxable And Tax Exempt Entities, Darryll K. Jones
Journal Publications
Joint ventures involving taxable and tax-exempt organizations, referred to in this article as "taxable-tax exempt joint ventures," engender conflict between the doctrinal requirements pertaining to tax exemption and the flexibility afforded joint ventures in Subchapter K.' The nonprofit partner must exercise ultimate governing control over the joint venture so that charitable goals take precedence over profit-seeking goals if the nonprofit's share of income is to remain tax exempt. On the other hand, a for-profit partner is entitled and indeed expected to pursue profit but its lack of control over the joint venture exposes the for-profit partner to greater risk of …

The Story Of The Separate Corporate Income Tax: A Vehicle For Regulating Corporate Managers, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
The Story Of The Separate Corporate Income Tax: A Vehicle For Regulating Corporate Managers, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
The corporate income tax is under attack. The former Secretary of the Treasury has announced that it should be abolished, and the current drive to eliminate the taxation of dividends can be seen as the first step toward that goal. A significant number of tax academics have argued for repeal of the tax. Other academics have urged radical reform of the tax. And no serious academic has in recent years mounted a convincing normative defense of why this cumbersome tax should be retained.
And yet it does not seem likely that the corporate tax will be repealed any time soon. …
The Wto, Export Subsidies, And Tax Competition, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
The Wto, Export Subsidies, And Tax Competition, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
From its beginnings late in the 19th century, the modem state has been financed primarily by progressive income taxation. The income tax differs from other forms of taxation (such as consumption or social security taxes) in that in theory it includes income from capital in the tax base, even if it is saved and not consumed. Because the rich save more than the poor, a tax that includes income from capital in its base is more progressive (taxes the rich more heavily) than a tax that excludes income from capital (e.g., a consumption tax or a payroll tax). However, the …
From Income To Consumption Tax: Some International Implications, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
From Income To Consumption Tax: Some International Implications, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
This Article considers some possible implications for the international tax regime based on three major proposals in the United States which would abolish the U.S. corporate and personal income taxes and implement in their place a type of consumption tax. It describes the three main proposals and the potential international implications. The Article discusses the possible impact of tax reform on the U.S. tax treaty network and concludes that our treaty partners would be entitled to terminate their treaties with the U.S. if it abolished the income tax. The author concludes by addressing the question whether the effect of the …
Closing The International Tax Gap, Joseph Guttentag, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Closing The International Tax Gap, Joseph Guttentag, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
In July of 1999, the Justice Department entered into a plea bargain with one John M. Mathewson of San Antonio, Texas. Mr. Mathewson was accused of money laundering through the Guardian Bank and Trust Co. Ltd., a Cayman Islands bank. Mr. Mathewson was chairman and controlling shareholder of Guardian, and in that capacity had access to information on its depositors. In return for a reduced sentence, Mr. Mathewson turned over the names of the persons who had accounts at Guardian. The result was an eye-opener: The majority of the accounts were beneficially owned by U.S. citizens, and the reason they …
Annex 3: Definition Of 'Tax' In Us Law, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Annex 3: Definition Of 'Tax' In Us Law, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Book Chapters
Under US law, a tax is defined as a compulsory payment pursuant to the authority of a foreign country to levy taxes. While this definition is somewhat circular, it does require (i) a payment, (ii) that is not voluntary,(iii) to a foreign country, (iv) pursuant to its authority to levy taxes
Charity, Publicity, And The Donation Registry, Brian Broughman, Robert Cooter
Charity, Publicity, And The Donation Registry, Brian Broughman, Robert Cooter
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Many Americans donate little or nothing to charity, but according to Robert Cooter and Brian Broughman, our social environment is the cause, not human nature. They propose a small policy change to increase transparency and elicit generosity inspired by experimental evidence about the nature of giving.
President Bush's Personal Retirement Accounts: Saving Or Dismantling Social Security, Kathryn L. Moore
President Bush's Personal Retirement Accounts: Saving Or Dismantling Social Security, Kathryn L. Moore
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
President Bush has long been a proponent of investing a portion of payroll taxes in the private sector. For example, in 1999, then-Governor George Bush said to free-market crusader Stephen Moore, "I just want you to know ... that I'm really committed to these private investment accounts." In 2001, President Bush directed a 16-member bipartisan commission, the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security, to formulate a plan for Social Security reform that included voluntary personal retirement accounts. But it was not until the beginning of his second term in office that President Bush began in earnest his crusade to fundamentally …
Tax Law Uncertainty And The Role Of Tax Insurance, Kyle D. Logue
Tax Law Uncertainty And The Role Of Tax Insurance, Kyle D. Logue
Articles
In the broadest sense, this is an article about legal or regulatory uncertainty and the role that private and public insurance can play in managing it. More narrowly, the article is about tax law enforcement and the familiar if ill-defined distinctions between tax evasion, tax avoidance, and abusive tax avoidance. Most specifically, the article is about a new type of tax risk insurance policy, sometimes called tax indemnity insurance or transactional tax risk insurance that provides coverage against the risk that the Internal Revenue Service (Service) will disallow a taxpayer-insured's tax treatment of a particular transaction. The question is whether …
All Of A Piece Throughout: The Four Ages Of U.S. International Taxation, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
All Of A Piece Throughout: The Four Ages Of U.S. International Taxation, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Articles
This paper divides up the history of U.S. international taxation into four periods, on the basis of what was the basic theoretical principle underlying the major legislative enactments made in each period. The first period lasted from the adoption of the Foreign Tax Credit in 1918 to the end of the Eisenhower Administration, and was dominated by the concept of the right to tax as flowing from benefits conferred by the taxing state. The second period lasted from 1960 until the end of the Carter Administration, and was dominated by the concept of capital export neutrality and an emphasis on …
Recent Developments In Federal Income Taxation: The Year 2004, Ira B. Shepard, Martin J. Mcmahon Jr.
Recent Developments In Federal Income Taxation: The Year 2004, Ira B. Shepard, Martin J. Mcmahon Jr.
UF Law Faculty Publications
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 2004 - 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. Amendments to the Internal Revenue Code generally are not discussed except to …
Holding Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen
Holding Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen
Articles
The collapse of WorldCom, Inc., exposed a complex web of accounting irregularities. Within that web, recent filings by Dick Thornburgh, WorldCom's Bankruptcy Court Examiner, reveal a different type of scheme that involves the holding of intellectual property. Further scrutinizing the scheme reveals that WorldCom and its tax advisors, KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (KPMG), devised a tax avoidance scheme through the creation of an intellectual property holding company (IP holding company). This type of scheme has been widely and quietly utilized in the last twenty years by many corporations with substantial intellectual property.
Indeed, as state taxing authorities have become more …
