Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg Sep 1983

Interest Elements In Tax Planning, Daniel S. Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

This article discusses how interest has been and is being used in tax planning. The tax planning techniques using interest include charging too little interest or none at all, recalssifying interest as principal and allocating interest among time periods to optimize the tax consequences to the parties. The issues raised by these tax planning techniques go to the heart of the tax system. They suggest inadequacies in the development of the case law and in conventional tax thinking.

International Tax Evasion: Spawned In The United States And Nurtured By Secrecy Havens, Allaire U. Karzon Jan 1983

International Tax Evasion: Spawned In The United States And Nurtured By Secrecy Havens, Allaire U. Karzon
