Some Reflections On The State Taxation Of A Nonresident's Personal Income, Walter Hellerstein Jun 1974

Some Reflections On The State Taxation Of A Nonresident's Personal Income, Walter Hellerstein

Scholarly Works

With respect to the taxation of personal income, it was plain by 1940 that states were constitutionally free to tax residents on all personal income wherever earned and nonresidents on personal income earned within the state, even though these two principles, taken together, meant that an individual's income might be subject to double-taxation by different states. The Supreme Court, after toying with the idea for a decade, finally rejected the invitation to forge the due process clause into a tool for preventing multiple taxation and reverted to the ruling law of an earlier era that left the solution of such …

Comparison Of Major Tax And Legal Advantages Of Operating In An Unincorporated Form, Douglas A. Kahn

Book Chapters

As an introduction to the subject of this conference, several topics will be discussed. First, the tax and non-tax consequences of conducting business in a partnership form will be examined and compared with the consequences of doing business in a corporate form.

The Requirement That A Capital Expenditure Create Or Enhance An Asset, Alan Gunn Jan 1974

The Requirement That A Capital Expenditure Create Or Enhance An Asset, Alan Gunn

Journal Articles

Should expenditures that have an impact on a company’s production beyond one tax year be capitalized for tax purposes? How can these be distinguished from the “ordinary and necessary expenses” of a business? Is it reasonable to permit a current deduction for these expenditures? While a capitalized expenditure has often been seen as an expenditure that has produced an “asset”, there is no clear rule on what is an asset how to define it. The article examines these issues, with a discussion of the statutory provisions concerning capital expenditures and the problem of whether capitalization is a method of accounting. …


Deductibility Of Expenses For Child Care And Household Services: New Section 214, Alan L. Feld Apr 1972

Deductibility Of Expenses For Child Care And Household Services: New Section 214, Alan L. Feld

Faculty Scholarship

It is increasingly common to find families composed of husband, wife and young children, where both husband and wife are gainfully employed. For some, this pattern is regarded as preferable to the older "ideal" family, where the husband was the sole breadwinner and the wife cared for the children, performed household chores and perhaps engaged in social or charitable activities. Where both spouses are gainfully employed, it is often necessary for the family to employ household help to care for the children and do the housework. These expenditures are "necessary" to the gainful employment of both spouses in the sense …

Transactions Subject To The Federal Gift Tax, Douglas A. Kahn

Mandatory Buy-Out Agreements For Stock Of Closely Held Corporations, Douglas A. Kahn Nov 1969

Mandatory Buy-Out Agreements For Stock Of Closely Held Corporations, Douglas A. Kahn

Articles

A buy-out of a shareholder's stock is a sale of his stock holdings in a specific corporation pursuatnt to a pre-existing contract. In recent years such arrangements have, deservedly, become an increasingly popular planning device for shareholders in closely held corporations; they make it possible to limit the class of potential shareholders, provide liquidity for the estate of a deceased shareholder, and establish a value for stock which has no active market. There are two popular categories of buy-out plans. If the prospective purchaser of a decedent's shares is the corporation that issued them, the plan is called an "entity …

The Corporation Tax Decision, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

Seldom, if ever, in the history of the country has the Supreme Court been called upon within a comparatively short period of time to decide so many questions of widespread interest and vital importance as has been the case during the last year or two. Attempts on the part of the state and national governments to regulate and control corporations, which in recent years have come to exercise such a large and not always wholesome influence upon affairs generally, have been the occasion for the consideration by the court of many of the important cases recently presented. Among these are …

Principles That Should Govern In The Framing Of Tax Laws, Thomas M. Cooley Dec 1877

Principles That Should Govern In The Framing Of Tax Laws, Thomas M. Cooley

Articles

The problem of suitable and justtaxation is one which is forever demanding solution, butnever solved. Adam Smith gave to the world certain rules which should governin taxation, the first of which was that "The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government as nearly as possible in proportion to their respective abilities - that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state." While most writers on political economy have been disposed to accept this as a sound and just rule, some have objected to it that it …
