Some Reflections On The State Taxation Of A Nonresident's Personal Income, Walter Hellerstein
Some Reflections On The State Taxation Of A Nonresident's Personal Income, Walter Hellerstein
Michigan Law Review
My purpose here is fourfold: first, to inquire into the theoretical and constitutional underpinning of Vermont's taxing scheme against the background of the case that challenged the validity of the levy; second, to analyze the impact of related legislation on the principles upon which the basic Vermont formula was constructed; third, to determine whether there are reasons of law or policy why other states should not adopt schemes similar to Vermont's; and, fourth, to consider in light of the foregoing some of the recurring problems concerning the treatment of nonresidents under state income tax statutes.

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 …

Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine
Alternative Gains Tax Treatments Of Decedents' Appreciated Capital Assets, D. Allen Grumbine
Vanderbilt Law Review
The present treatment of appreciated assets under section 1014' of the Code permits a great deal of accrued appreciation to escape the income tax. While decedents pay a greater estate tax because asset appreciation swells their estates, they pay no gains tax at death on this accrued appreciation. Moreover, the recipients of the decedent's property generally take a stepped-up basis for the property equal to its fair market value at the time of death. A great deal of criticism has been leveled at this system, and numerous proposals have been made for remedying the situation: imposition of a capital gains …

Federal Invome Tax Discrimination Between Married And Single Taxpayers, Michael W. Betz
Federal Invome Tax Discrimination Between Married And Single Taxpayers, Michael W. Betz
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This article explores the present tax rate structure and its implications, considers the historical events and policies which created four separate tax rates, analyzes the tax policies embodied by the different rate treatment of married and single taxpayers, and examines the constitutional problems involved in maintaining the present disparate tax treatment. An alternative tax rate treatment, which will avoid the discrimination inherent in the present system, is suggested.

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 principle concern of this paper, however, is to examine the tax consequences of transferring property to a corporation, whether such transfer is made at the time the corporation is organized or at some subsequent date.
The Requirement That A Capital Expenditure Create Or Enhance An Asset, Alan Gunn
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. …
