Tax Treatment Of Stockholders' Advances (How Thick Must Be A Thin Corporation), F. A. Lesourd

Washington Law Review

With higher corporate tax rates and more emphasis by the Treasury on taxing distributions to stockholders as dividends, the advantage in setting up stockholders' advances to a corporation as loans rather than as equity capital has become more marked. Many stockholders commencing risky, incorporated businesses would like to get their capital out of the corporation as soon as possible so as to minimize the risk of loss in the event business conditions should turn bad. A stockholder cannot receive a return of part of his equity capital without serious question as to his liability for tax on the distribution as …

Cleveland State Law Review

There are many small corporations, the ownership o fwhich is in the hands of a family group or a few individuals, which are susceptible to personal holding company rules.

While it may not have been the intention of an individual or of a group to form a personal holding company, circumstances may arise during a year which would qualify the corporation as one. A change in stock ownership, a change in the type of gross income or a change in the amount of gross income could very well transform …

Cleveland State Law Review

Many problems of taxation are caused by the differences between tax accounting principles and generally accepted accounting principles.
