How Far Will Multi-State Death Taxation Go--Curry V. Mccanless Revisited, Thomas A. Thomas
Vanderbilt Law Review
It is the purpose of this comment to show how the death tax laws today affect the estate of a person who dies in one state leaving tangible or intangible personalty in another state, and also to recall the laws as they existed in the not too remote past and to surmise what they will be tomorrow in the light of recent trends.

Taxation-Income Tax-Exempt Reorganizations-Recapitalization As Device For Distributing Earnings, Bayard E. Heath S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner owned more than three-fourths of the stock in a corporation whose shares had a par value of $100. Except for one share, his wife owned the remainder. Under a plan of recapitalization the stockholders received in exchange for each old share, five shares of no par stock with a stated value of $60 per share plus a portion of $400,000 worth of callable debentures issued by the corporation. At the time of this exchange the earned surplus of the corporation exceeded $850,000. The commissioner held that the full value of the debentures received was chargeable to the taxpayer as …
Some Income Tax Aspects Of Community Property Law, Paul R. Trigg, Jr.
Some Income Tax Aspects Of Community Property Law, Paul R. Trigg, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
The recent enactment of community property law in Michigan and other states has created new problems for lawyers. Not the least of these is the question of the income tax consequences which flow from the existence of a community between the spouses. Nor is this the type of problem which can be shrugged off by reference to tax counsel. Local community property law and federal .income tax law are too closely enmeshed to be intelligently divided. No authority is needed for the statement that recently enacted community property laws are a product of high surtaxes. At the same time, these …

Constitutional Law-Taxation-Gross Receipts Taxes In Relation To Interstate Commerce-Freeman V. Hewit, Irving Slifkin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The scope of state taxation of interstate commerce has been redefined in two recent Supreme Court cases involving the application of state gross receipts taxes. In Freeman v. Hewit and Joseph v. Carter and Weekes Stevedoring Co., the Court discarded the cumulative burdens test, which for the past eight years had served as the basis for determining the extent of state taxation of interstate commerce, and readopted the direct and indirect burden test.

Taxation-Mitigation Of The Statute Of Limitation And The Doctrine Of Recoupment, Eugene H. Lattin S.Ed.
Taxation-Mitigation Of The Statute Of Limitation And The Doctrine Of Recoupment, Eugene H. Lattin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Excise taxes on the sale of batteries were illegally collected from taxpayer from April, 1919 to April, 1926. In 1926 taxpayer filed a claim for refund for taxes paid between 1922 and 1926. Refund for the payments made earlier was barred by the statute of limitations. In 1935 the refund was received, and it was taxed as income by the commissioner. In a suit by the taxpayer to recover payment of the assessment, the lower court permitted recoupment, against the income tax deficiency, of the amount of excise taxes illegally collected between 1919 and 1922. Held, reversed. The recoupment …

Significant Developments In The Law Of Federal Taxation, 1941-1947: Ii, Paul G. Kauper
Significant Developments In The Law Of Federal Taxation, 1941-1947: Ii, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The 1941 Revenue Act carried forward the rather complex normal tax structure prescribed by the 1940 Revenue Act and in addition introduced a corporate surtax rate schedule. The normal tax rates were increased to absorb the 10% defense tax previously imposed as a separate tax and also a very slight increase in the rates applicable to corporations with a normal-tax net income of less than $38,461.54. As so altered the normal tax amounted to 24% in the case of corporations having normal-tax net income over $38,461.54, and in the case of corporations having no more than this amount of normal-tax …

Significant Developments In The Law Of Federal Taxation, 1941-1947: I, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
A preliminary word on the scope of this review is in order. Since this was originally prepared as one of a series designed to acquaint returning veterans with legal developments during the war period, the year 1941 has been chosen as the starting point, and the review carried forward from that point through to date. The review covering this period is limited to significant developments in the area of federal taxation, with emphasis upon the estate, gift, and income taxes.

Taxation-Excess Profits-General Relief Under Section 722 I. R. C, John W. Riehm, Jr. S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Even the most casual observer of modern business practices will accede to the general proposition that the most accurate reflection of market value for many commodities can be found in documentary sources. This is particularly true of those commodities of an homogeneous character which are sold in well-organized markets characterized by price uniformity and free access to price information. Of them, it may well be said that no more satisfactory evidence of market value than the newspaper market reports can be found, barring the possibility of personal observation of "the board" at the market itself. However, the average businessman will …

Executors And Administrators-Priority Of Payment Of United States Claims, E. M. Deal S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
When decedent died in 1940, his personal estate was consumed by the widow's exemption and expenses of administration, leaving only a one-sixth interest in certain real estate formerly owned by his deceased father. Proceedings to partition this property resulted in a sum of $2,306.17 payable to decedent's widow, subject to the payment of his debts.

Constitutional Law-Interstate Commerce-Congressional Consent To Discriminatory State Taxation, George Brody S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
South Carolina statutes imposed upon foreign insurance companies a tax of 3 per cent of the aggregate premiums received from business done within the state, without reference to its interstate or local character, as a condition to receiving a certificate of authority to do business within the state. No similar tax was imposed upon domestic insurance companies. The Prudential Life Insurance Company, a New Jersey corporation doing business in South Carolina, refused to pay, contending that since it was a discriminatory tax it was unconstitutional. Furthermore, Prudential challenged the power of Congress to consent to the levying of such discriminatory …
