Mergers, Taxes, And Historical Materialism, Ajay K. Mehrotra Jul 2008

Mergers, Taxes, And Historical Materialism, Ajay K. Mehrotra

Indiana Law Journal

In the last few years, corporate mergers and acquisitions witnessed explosive growth. Although more recent market conditions have halted the latest merger movement, scholars and commentators have used the earlier rise in merger activity to reevaluate the preferential tax treatment granted to those mergers and acquisitions that fall under the U.S. tax law's definition of a corporate "reorganization. " Under the current Internal Revenue Code, neither shareholders nor corporations recognize gain or loss on the exchange of stock or securities in transactions that qualify as a "corporate reorganization." The significance of this tax rule raises a central question: why does …

Debunking The Basis Myth Under The Income Tax, Joseph M. Dodge, Jay A. Soled Apr 2006

Debunking The Basis Myth Under The Income Tax, Joseph M. Dodge, Jay A. Soled

Indiana Law Journal

Tax basis is one of the most important, yet least studied, aspects of the income tax. This analysis calls attention to its importance and argues that taxpayers have the motivation, opportunity, and means to inflate the tax basis they have in their assets and, in some cases, to avoid the reporting of gains. We discuss the likely causes of these phenomena, estimate the probable revenue loss, and propose appropriate reforms.


The Community Income Theory Of The Charitable Contributions Deduction, Johnny Rex Buckles Oct 2005

The Community Income Theory Of The Charitable Contributions Deduction, Johnny Rex Buckles

Indiana Law Journal

The charitable contributions deduction, a longstanding yet controversial feature of the Internal Revenue Code, has been justified under subsidy theories and tax-base theories. Focusing on the latter, this Article presents and explains a new tax-base theory in support of the charitable contributions deduction-the community income theory. This theory posits that some income, designated as "community income, " is properly excluded from the personal income tax base because it is more naturally attributed to the community than to the individual members of the community. Adopting the presumption that the community generally should be treated as a tax exempt entity, this Article …

The Death Of The Income Tax (Or, The Rise Of America’S Universal Wage Tax), Edward J. Mccaffery Oct 2000

The Death Of The Income Tax (Or, The Rise Of America’S Universal Wage Tax), Edward J. Mccaffery

Indiana Law Journal

The killing of the income tax has not been open and notorious: such is not the style of contemporary politics. As with other markers of progressive social policy—the promises of universal health care, Obamacare, come to mind6—the income tax is dying a death by stealth, albeit stealth played out in plain view. The plot lines of the tragedy are apparent. The individual “income” tax has been split in two. One tax, for the masses, is a simple, increasingly formless wage tax. This wage/income tax adds higher brackets onto the payroll tax, the model toward which the wage/income tax aims, to …
