Actual Expenses Of Ohio Utility Are Considered In Computing Rates Even Though The Hypothetical Company Technique Is Used-General Tel. Co. V. Public Util. Comm'n, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio established rates for plaintiff telephone company.

The allowance for taxes was calculated by following the so-called "hypothetical company" formula as apparently required by a recent line of Ohio Supreme Court decisions. On direct appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, held, order reversed, two judges dissenting. The utility company should be allowed …

The district court granted a preliminary injunction restraining certain of the banks from transferring any property whether …

Internal Revenue Code Summons Enforcement And The Accountant Jan 1964

Internal Revenue Code Summons Enforcement And The Accountant

Duquesne Law Review

An increasingly large number of taxpayers-guilty and innocenthave been faced with tax investigations as the Government seeks to enforce the civil and/or criminal sanctions of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax practioners representing such taxpayers have been confronted with a conflict between the demands of the Internal Revenue Service and his clients' interests. In addition, the extensive use of the administrative subpoena, the most powerful weapon in the Internal Revenue Service's arsenal, augmented by the timidity and genuflections of taxpayers and tax practitioners, and complimented by the broad construction given this weapon by the courts, have established precedents thought of by …

Taxation-Federal Tax Liens- First In Time Determines Priority Between State And Federal General Tax Lien, James B. Goodbody

Michigan Law Review

The United States brought an action in a federal district court to foreclose a tax lien against a solvent taxpayer. Vermont held a lien against the same taxpayer for unpaid withholding taxes which antedated the federal lien, and was joined as a defendant. The state lien was authorized by a statute drawn practically verbatim from the federal tax lien statute. Thus both liens dated from a refusal to pay assessed taxes on demand, reached all interests in property of whatever nature, and were enforceable either by distraint or civil action. The state claimed priority as first in time. The United …


Tax Exempt Organizations, Edward A. Lebit Jan 1964

Tax Exempt Organizations, Edward A. Lebit

Cleveland State Law Review

Although tax exempt organizations are creatures of the state ,it is under the federal law that they seek exemption from tax. Many unqualified organizations have sought and received this exemption. Many abuses and schemes have arisen, in which even qualified organizations have been made parties. The big question is whether the exemption laws are not clear enough or whether they have been lackadaisically enforced. It is this writer's opinion that the law is adequate, and that strict enforcement of the law is all that is necessary to clear up the tax abuses by non-profit organizations which have taken place since …
