State And Local Taxation Of Financial Institutions:An Opportunity For Reform, C. James Judson, Susan G. Duffy
State And Local Taxation Of Financial Institutions:An Opportunity For Reform, C. James Judson, Susan G. Duffy
Vanderbilt Law Review
Forces at work in both public and private sectors may soon change the way state and local political subdivisions tax financial institutions. The market for financial services is changing dramatically. Governments have expanded substantially the scope of activities in which financial depositories may engage. The competitive environment for financial activities also is changing as general business corporations enter the financial services field, an area previously considered the exclusive domain of financial institutions. Financial institutions have increasing opportunities for interstate activity, which offers both risks and challenges. These changes have occurred during a period in which the extensive framework of state …
Distinguishing Between Capital Expenditures And Ordinary Business Expenses: A Proposal For A Universal Standard, Steven J. Greene
Distinguishing Between Capital Expenditures And Ordinary Business Expenses: A Proposal For A Universal Standard, Steven J. Greene
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It is apparent from an examination of the various court decisions that there is no single, common standard used to distinguish between capital expenditures and ordinary business expenses. The courts are not completely to blame for this situation, however, because the Internal Revenue Code provides little guidance on the capital/ordinary distinction. This Note proposes an amendment to the Tax Code that would provide courts with a universal standard to apply in differentiating between the two types of expenditures and that best reflects the general purpose of the Code in matching income with its related expenses. Part I analyzes the historical …
Capital Gains Exception To The House's "General Utilities" Repeal: Further Indigestions From Overly Processed "Corn Products", John W. Lee
Faculty Publications
In this article, Lee first describes the mechanics and tax effects of cost basis corporate acquisitions and analyzes why current tax rules favor such acquisitions over carryover basis acquisition (e .g., tax-free mergers); then he describes the House's proposed repeal in HR 3838 of the General Utilities doctrine in current sections 336-338, focusing on the continued exemption for long-term capital gains of a closely held active business corporation. This sets the stage for analysis of the Corn Products doctrine, which under an "integral asset" reading would deny the exemption to most appreciated operating assets, surely not the intent of the …

Efficiency And Income Taxes: The Rehabilitation Of Tax Incentives, Edward A. Zelinsky
Articles
This Article explores two prominent issues in current legal literature: the propriety of tax incentives in the federal income tax and the use of economic analysis to examine questions of concern to academic lawyers. One premise of this Article is that there is a connection between these two topics.
Taxation Of Natural Resources: Are Provisions Applying To The Domestic Natural Resources Industry Also Applicable To Deep Seabed Mining?, Jozef Leysen
LLM Theses and Essays
Deep seabed mining may diminish American dependence on foreign sources of minerals. It is thus in the interest of the United States (and other mineral importing countries) to encourage this highly risky industry and to provide for favorable legal conditions in general and for favorable tax conditions in particular. This thesis examines whether United States law on the taxation of natural resources applies to deep seabed mining.

Fiduciary Income Taxation And The Holloway Adjustment, Dennis E. Bires
Fiduciary Income Taxation And The Holloway Adjustment, Dennis E. Bires
Akron Tax Journal
A great deal of the complexity of the rules dealing with income taxation of trusts and estates' can be attributed to the imperfect compatibility of two different regimes of law: the federal taxation of income and local rules of trust accounting. Just as the confluence of two rivers may generate turbulence exceeding that of either branch, the meeting of federal tax law and state trust law in Subchapter J of the Internal Revenue Code generates problems that neither discipline would present by itself.
In 1972, a New York Surrogate's Court introduced the Holloway adjustment to fiduciary accounting. This equitable adjustment …

Comments: Conflict Between The Internal Revenue Code And The Fifth Amendment Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, Richard B. Stanley
Comments: Conflict Between The Internal Revenue Code And The Fifth Amendment Privilege Against Self-Incrimination, Richard B. Stanley
University of Baltimore Law Review
The privilege against self-incrimination contained in the fifth amendment to the United States Constitution is invoked with some frequency in the reporting of income to the Internal Revenue Service. Unfortunately, no definite standard for the applicability of this privilege to income reporting has emerged. In this comment, the author reviews decisional law on the applicability of this privilege to income reporting and analyzes under what circumstances this privilege can be invoked.
New Exemptions From Withholding Of Federal Income Taxes On Compensation Paid To Nonresident Aliens, Kenneth R. Meyers
New Exemptions From Withholding Of Federal Income Taxes On Compensation Paid To Nonresident Aliens, Kenneth R. Meyers
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The exemptions available in the 1984 regulations will benefit nonresident aliens receiving compensation for personal services. The exemptions will allow nonresident aliens to receive more of their compensation while they are in the United States, and, in turn, will enable them to spend more of it in the United States. The exemptions are substantially broader and more generous than the narrow exemptions previously available. If a nonresident alien avails himself of the final payment exemption or the withholding agreement exemption, if he is to receive income from United States and foreign sources from one withholding agent, the required negotiations with …
Divorce, Taxes, And The 1984 Tax Reform Act: An Inadequate Response To An Old Problem, Roland L. Hjorth
Divorce, Taxes, And The 1984 Tax Reform Act: An Inadequate Response To An Old Problem, Roland L. Hjorth
Washington Law Review
This article analyzes in detail the provisions of the 1984 Tax Reform Act relating to property settlements and cash payments made pursuant to divorce. It concludes that the provisions relating to property settlements are, on balance, beneficial, but that the changes relating to alimony and child support are almost totally devoid of merit. The article recommends that sections 71 and 215 be amended to provide that all cash payments made pursuant to divorce should be income to the recipient if those payments meet the formal requirements of new section 71(b). Even if the payments are income to the recipient, however, …

The Parenting Tax Penalty: A Framework For Income Tax Reform, Charles R.T. O'Kelley
The Parenting Tax Penalty: A Framework For Income Tax Reform, Charles R.T. O'Kelley
Scholarly Works
Part I considers the proper tax treatment of out-of-pocket parenting expenses such as the costs incurred in providing food, clothing, shelter, and other goods and services to children for their consumption. Part I first characterizes the principal design alternatives to the present flat dependency deduction. It then examines the dominant accretion definition of income and concludes that the current flat dependency deduction is more consistent with the accretion concept and our actual governing beliefs than is any of the alternatives advocated by its critics.
Part II considers the tax relevance of imputed income from self-performed services. It explains (1) how …
The Character Of A Partner's Distributive Share Under The "Substantial Economic Effect" Regulation, Alan Gunn
The Character Of A Partner's Distributive Share Under The "Substantial Economic Effect" Regulation, Alan Gunn
Journal Articles
Partnership income and deductions are allocated according to the amount and the character of each partner's distributive share. This article examines the ways in which the section 704(b) regulations apply the "substantial economic effect" test to character allocations. It argues that it is important to distinguish allocations of character from allocations of amounts to understand these regulations. This is because tests that the regulations apply to character issues have to do with source-measurement correspondence and proration, while amounts are determined according to economic effect in the capital account sense. Although the regulations' rules for character allocations purport to define "substantiality," …

Taxation Of The Disposition Of Partnership Issues: Time To Repeal I.R.C. Section 736, John A. Lynch Jr.
All Faculty Scholarship
As part of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 Congress enacted section 736. This section specifies the tax treatment of the various types of payments that a partnership may make to a withdrawing partner. It introduced the concept of a liquidation of a partnership interest by the partnership itself, as opposed to the sale of that interest to an outsider or to the continuing partners. In some instances it provides tax consequences for continuing and withdrawing partners which are different from those attendant to a sale. It was designed to make the law concerning disposition of partnership interests simpler and …
