Sierra Club V. Commissioner And The Royalty Exemption To The Unrelated Business Income Tax: How Much Activity Is Too Much?, Katherine A. Vanye Oct 1997

Sierra Club V. Commissioner And The Royalty Exemption To The Unrelated Business Income Tax: How Much Activity Is Too Much?, Katherine A. Vanye

Washington Law Review

In Sierra Club v. Commissioner, the Ninth Circuit decided that royalties are payments for the right to use intangible property and are by definition "passive." The court applied this definition and held that Sierra Club's income from renting its mailing list was a royalty payment and thus exempt from taxation. This Note argues that while the court reached the correct conclusion, it did not propose a clear standard to guide future cases. Two alternative approaches could be adopted: (1) ancillary versus significant services; or (2) comparative value of property and services. These alternatives will provide clearer guidelines and enable …

Kochanksky V. Commissioner: The Assignment Of Income Doctrine, Community Property Law, And I.R.C. § 1041, Sarah Dods Jul 1997

Kochanksky V. Commissioner: The Assignment Of Income Doctrine, Community Property Law, And I.R.C. § 1041, Sarah Dods

Washington Law Review

In Kochansky v. Commissioner, the Ninth Circuit held that an attorney was fully taxable on a contingent fee he agreed to split with his spouse at divorce, reasoning that the assignment of income doctrine requires that income be taxed to the person who earns it. This Note observes that in applying the assignment doctrine, the Kochansky court erred by failing to determine the extent of the spouse's community property interest in the contingent fee; community property income must be taxed one-half to each spouse, regardless of which spouse earns it, which spouse collects it, and when it is collected. …

The Definition Of Voting Stock And The Computation Of Voting Power Under Sections 368(C) And 1504(A): Recent Developments And Tax Lore, Stuart G. Lazar Jul 1997

The Definition Of Voting Stock And The Computation Of Voting Power Under Sections 368(C) And 1504(A): Recent Developments And Tax Lore, Stuart G. Lazar

Journal Articles

Although the concepts of "voting stock" and "voting power" are pervasive throughout the Code, until recently, courts, commentators and the Service have devoted minimal energy to demystifying the confusion surrounding the definition of voting stock and even less to expanding upon the methodology of computing voting power. Recent developments, however, may prompt practitioners to take a second look at these terms. While a 1995 decision by the Tax Court adds little to the existing body of authority with respect to the determination of the owner of voting stock, the Service's analysis of the voting power requirement in a 1994 private …

The Hidden Costs Of The Progressivity Debate, Nancy C. Staudt May 1997

The Hidden Costs Of The Progressivity Debate, Nancy C. Staudt

Vanderbilt Law Review

Progressive taxation-taxing high income individuals at a proportionally higher level than low income individuals-has sparked more than a century of controversy. Those who support progressive taxation have heralded it as a policy that promotes the greatest good for the greatest number in society protects traditional democratic values, reflects the communitarian world-view of women who see themselves as responsible for the well-being of all individuals, and reveals the "aesthetic judgment" that income inequality is "distinctly evil or unlovely." At the same time, critics have condemned progressive income taxation as social policy that amounts to theft and involuntary servitude, reflects the democratic …
