Fifteen-Year Survey Of Corporate Developments, 1944-1959, Miguel A. De Capriles

Vanderbilt Law Review

The foregoing survey, it is believed, amply demonstrates the kaleidoscopic variety of the corporate developments of the past fifteen years, even though for obvious reasons much of the detail has had to be omitted. General conclusions are difficult to draw. It seems likely that the success of capitalist enterprise in this, period and the self-imposed improvement in standards of corporate. Fanchon & Marco, Inc. v. Paramount Pictures, 202 F.2d 731 (2d Cir. management have retarded the underlying trend toward expansion of the role of government in the regulation of economic affairs. There has been no occasion for new dramatic statutory …

Tax Considerations In Selecting A Form Of Foreign Business Organization, Walter W. Brudno

Vanderbilt Law Review

The provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which are of particular relevance to the planning of foreign operations are few in number and are generally deceptively simple in phraseology. The substantive provisions consist of those sections which specify rules for determining the source of income, for calculating the credit for foreign taxes paid in respect of foreign source income, and for allowance of concessional treatment accorded Western Hemisphere Trade Corporations, United States Possessions Corporations, and China Trade Act Corporations. Measures designed to prevent tax avoidance which are of particular relevance are those which relate to acquisition of corporate control for …

Subchapter S And Its Effect On The Capitalization Of Corporations, Mortimer M. Caplin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Our federal tax laws encourage the creation of complex capital structures. "Thinning" capitalizations by issuing corporate indebtedness offers well known tax advantages to both shareholder and corporation.' Also, since 1954, issuing preferred stock on incorporation is a standard procedure for side-stepping the "bail-out" prohibitions of code section 306. A "good" capitalization from a tax viewpoint, therefore, will often involve a small base of common stock, a heavier layer of preferred stock and as much debt as the tax adviser believes will be given tax recognition.

The Tax Treatment Of Collapsible Corporations, Boris I. Bittker

Vanderbilt Law Review

Introductory.-Section 331 (a) (1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a complete liquidation of a corporation is to be treated by the shareholder as a sale of his stock, which will ordinarily produce capital gain or loss, and section 334 (a) provides that the shareholders' basis for property acquired on the liquidation is its fair market value at the time of distribution. These rules, which are of long standing, led to the tax avoidance device known as the "collapsible corporation," which in its turn led,in 1950, to the enactment of what is now section 341. As will be seen, …

Extent Of The Legislature's Reserve Power To Change Common Law Attributes Of Corporations, Edward R. Hayes

Vanderbilt Law Review

Does a stockholder have a right, at common law, to dissent and have his stock repurchased when his corporation purchases the assets of another business? If he does, is this a common law attribute of corporations? What other common law attributes may there be? To what extent has a legislature power to alter or modify these attributes, or to authorize alteration or modification by the holders of a majority of a corporation's stock? The discussion will be directed first to what attributes a corporation has apart from those bearing on its relations with its stockholders; next, to what attributes are …

The Corporate Guaranty, Arthur M. Kreidmann

Vanderbilt Law Review

Corporate business, with increasing frequency, is conducted through subsidiary and affiliated corporations. Normally, one or two of the entities in a multi-corporate enterprise enjoy a highly rated credit standing. The remaining corporations, engaged in selling, marketing, maintenance, or other functional activities, are often under-capitalized and cannot alone develop their credit resources. Similarly, many businesses which fall without the pale of the parent-subsidiary-affiliate relationship are commercially interdependent and can operate only with the aid of a corporation whose credit position is strong. Material men and contractors, manufacturers and suppliers, sellers and customers typify such relationships connoting a business nexus.

State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman

Vanderbilt Law Review

There was a time when state and local taxes were perhaps only a minor factor in determining where a new business would locate and were probably not seriously considered in connection with most locational decisions. In recent years, however, because of the need for additional revenue on the part of state and local governments and the resulting increases in varieties and amounts of taxes, business must give more attention to the question of state and local taxes in deciding where to locate and operate. In this discussion of state taxation of corporate income from multi-state operations, we will include taxes …

Initial Capitalization And Financing Of Corporations, Chester Rohrlich

Vanderbilt Law Review

Since one of the varied uses to which stock purchase options maybe put is as a means of raising, or facilitating the raising, of capital, we deem it appropriate to direct attention to them. Like so many instrumentalities, they are subject to abuse and raise some difficulties, but used honestly and with discretion, they do represent a means (a) of compensating promoters and underwriters and retaining their continuing interest in the financial success of the corporation, (b) of adding speculative attraction to the security with which it is issued, or, less frequently, (c) of raising funds by direct and independent …

Negligence Liability Of Artisans And Tradesmen, Jerry L. Moore

Vanderbilt Law Review

The purpose of this Note is to examine certain aspects of the tort liability of nonprofessional persons who engage in a trade or craft which requires skill and abilities not ordinarily possessed by the average man. Since, with such a wide range of subjects, an adequate treatment of all the problems peculiar to each trade would require volumes, it is necessary at the outset to place rather narrow limitations on the scope of this analysis. Perhaps it is best to define the outside limits in the form of two "issues" as follows. When a person engages in a certain trade …

Corporate Law Department Communications--Privilege And Discovery, Thomas R. Hunt

Vanderbilt Law Review

With the growth in number and size of corporate law departments, there is increased interest in determining the conditions and areas in which their communications' may be called for, and used, in litigation. As business becomes more complex, requiring adherence to legislation and regulation which allows small tolerance between the licit and illicit, or demanding close attention to administrative detail, the role of the lawyer is amplified. Concurrently, corporate counsel is engaged in areas where the distinction between business and legal considerations becomes decreasingly apparent.

Stock Options And Other Executive Incentive Arrangements, Charles W. Steadman

Vanderbilt Law Review

The immense economic expansion and changes of the post-war period have generated numerous problems. In American business a major product of this is to be found in the difficulty of developing and maintaining the reservoir of executive talent at levels sufficiently high that managerial functions can continue to be performed with an advanced degree of efficiency. The shortage of qualified executives has been widely reported. The competition for those available is intense and increasing.

Unfortunately, it would seem that at the very time the need is greatest the normal incentives for an individual to assume major executive status have been …

New Books And Recent Scholarship, F. Hodge O'Neal, Jordan Derwin, C. Edwin Chapman, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The years since World War II have brought extensive developments in the field of corporation law and practice. Many states have enacted a completely new corporation statute' or a new blue sky law. At the same time, "federal corporation law" and federal securities regulation have grown substantially. Legislatures and courts in many states have given some recognition to the distinctive problems of the close corporation. A number of highly publicized proxy fights have spurred developments in the law applicable to the proxy system. Some courts have enunciated interesting legal principles applicable to the sale of corporate control. And just last …

State Taxation Of Corporate Income From A Multistate Business, Paul J. Hartman

Vanderbilt Law Review

So long as we have a federal system of government, a continuing problem, and certainly one of the most pressing, is that of an effective coordination of taxes. That problem has achieved paramount impor- tance in late years. Because of new and expanding conceptions as to what governments should do for people, our state governments are continually confronted with ever-increasing demands that they provide additional governmental functions and supply more governmental services. The resulting increase in governmental activities and extension of benefits mean urgent needs for additional revenue. As prices have spiraled under the increasing pressure of meeting our domestic …
