Tax Aspects Of Jury Valuation Of Future Earnings, John J. Kennett Jan 1957

Tax Aspects Of Jury Valuation Of Future Earnings, John J. Kennett

Cleveland State Law Review

Whether or not a jury should be instructed, in a personal injury case, that its verdict is exempt from federal income taxation, has been much discussed recently. A most practical element in this problem is the difference between "gross pay" and "take-home pay" in computing the present value of future earnings, when estimating damages. The real question presented by the topic concerns impairment, or deprivation, of future earning capacity. Some of the early English cases which I shall mention considered earnings lost between the time of injury and the time of trial, in addition to the impairment of future earning …


Tax Considerations In Organizing A Corporation, Marvin D. Kelner Jan 1957

Tax Considerations In Organizing A Corporation, Marvin D. Kelner

Cleveland State Law Review

It is almost impossible, and certainly impractical, to prepare a definitive checklist of incorporation procedures, which will guarantee complete safeguard for all of the "watchdog sections" of the present Internal Revenue Code and further guarantee the lowest tax burden for the corporation and its stockholders. The most that any careful lawyer can do is to apply known and foreseeable procedures, which have been tried and tested in the courts, to any particular company he is engaged in incorporating.

Taxation - Federal Income Tax Deductibility Of Interest On Debentures Issues As A Dividend, Jules M. Perlberg

Michigan Law Review

Taxpayer, a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation, had filed consolidated returns with its parent prior to 1934. When Congress abolished consolidated returns in that year, the subsidiary issued 6% debentures as a dividend to the parent company and subsequently deducted the interest paid on these bonds. The Commissioner claimed the interest payments were really dividends and were not deductible. The Tax Court upheld the Commissioner pointing out the tax-saving motive, absence of new investment, and parent-subsidiary relationship as factors indicating that no genuine debtor-creditor relationship existed. On appeal, held, reversed. The debentures involved were conventional in form and created a valid …

The evidence presented did not warrant a finding that any part of the sum recovered represented a return of capital. Chalmers Cullins, 24 T.C. 322 (1955).

Taxation - Federal Income Tax - Treatment Of Gains From Commodity Futures Transactions Of Manufacturing Consumer, Neil Flanagin S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Taxpayer, a manufacturer of products made from corn, purchased and sold corn futures contracts as a part of its regular buying program in order to protect itself against a possible shortage of raw materials.

On appeal, held, affirmed. The transactions, though not true hedges, were entered into for business purposes and as an integral part of taxpayer's operations. Consequently, they should be treated the same as hedges, and the gains …

Taxable Status Of Business Tort Recoveries, Marvin I. Kelner

Cleveland State Law Review

More neglected perhaps than any other area of tax law that comes to the attention of the practicing lawyer is the taxability of damages. Damages, of course, represent the largest class of relief sought in the courts. This discussion will be limited to the taxable status of recoveries received from business torts, an area of much controversy today.


Instructions On Taxes In Personal Injury Suits, Lloyd J. Fingerhut Jan 1956

Instructions On Taxes In Personal Injury Suits, Lloyd J. Fingerhut

Cleveland State Law Review

The Internal Revenue Code enacted in 1954 has continued the 1939 Code provision of law that damages received, whether by suit or agreement, for personal injuries or sickness, are exempt from the Federal income taxation, by providing that such awards are specific exclusions from gross income. In light of this, many defense attorneys engaged in suits of such nature are asking the courts to instruct the jury of such provision, or in their closing arguments mentioning the same. The introduction of the provision in closing arguments has been the cause of many appeals and subsequent reversals due to prejudicial error.
