Corporate and business tax laws Books

Book SynopsisDavid Wessel's incredible tale of how Washington works-and why the rich keep getting richer-starts when a Silicon Valley entrepreneur concocts an idea that will save money on his taxes and spins it as a way to ostensibly help poor people. He organizes and pays for an effective lobbying effort that pushes his idea into law with little scrutiny or fine-tuning by congressional or Treasury tax experts-and few safeguards against abuse. With an unbeatable pair of high-profile sponsors, bumper-sticker simplicity and deft political marketing, the Opportunity Zone became an unnoticed part of the 2017 Trump tax bill.The gold rush followed immediately thereafter.In Only the Rich Can Play, Wessel follows the money to see who profited from this plan that was supposed to spur development of blighted areas and help people out of poverty: the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas, the Portland (Oregon) Ritz-Carlton, the Mall of America, and self-storage facilities-lucrative areas where the one percent can park money profitably and avoid capital gains taxes. And the best part: unlike other provisions for eliminating capital gains taxes (inheritance, for example) you don't have to die to take advantage of this one.Wessel provides vivid portraits of the proselytizers, political influencers, motivational speakers, consultants, real estate dealmakers, and individual money-seekers looking to take advantage of this twenty-first century bonanza. He looks at places for which Opportunity Zones were supposedly designed (Baltimore, for example) and how little money they've drawn. And he finds a couple of places (Erie, PA) where zones are actually doing what they were supposed to, a lesson on how a better designed program might have helped more left-behind places. Readers will feel outraged as Wessel gives us the gritty reality, the dark underbelly of a system tilted in favor of the few, with the many left out in the cold.

Book SynopsisIn an important addition to the series, this book tells the story of 20 leading revenue law cases. It goes well beyond technical analysis to explore questions of philosophical depth, historical context and constitutional significance. The editors have assembled a stellar team of tax scholars, including historians as well as lawyers, practitioners as well as academics, to provide a wide range of fresh perspectives on familiar and unfamiliar decisions. The whole collection is prefaced by the editors’ extended introduction on the peculiar significance of case-law in revenue matters. This publication is a thought provoking and engaging showcase of tax writing that is accessible equally to specialists and non-specialists.Trade ReviewSnape and de Cogan frame a book containing classic cases in tax law as a means of understanding the deeply social and political nature of tax law, revenue law, the government, and the people’s interactions in what they hope will be a civilized society. Seeing issues from this more inclusive framing will allow legal scholars to contribute to that desired outcome without unnecessarily narrowing (and thus inevitably distorting) their focus. -- Neil H Buchanan * Jotwell *[A] full appreciation of the immense effort put in by each of the contributors gradually reveals itself after reading each of the contributions. The book is extensively researched and indexed... This book offers much more than an analysis of leading revenue law cases in the UK... This reviewer thoroughly endorses this book as essential reading to anyone interested in the historical development of the UK’s revenue law through the lens of the common law. Furthermore, it is recommended to anyone with an interest in revenue law, especially where the common law operates. It is not a book for reading in a single session; its full impact on one’s thinking is only achievable if a reader takes time to reflect upon the implications and insights provided by each of the chapters. This book should be part of the collections of tax practitioners, academics, officials, the judiciary and students with a keen interest in the law, especially those working with, or having an interest in, revenue law. -- Adrian Sawyer, Professor of Taxation, UC Business School, University of Canterbury, New Zealand * British Tax Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction: On the Significance of Revenue Cases John Snape and Dominic de Cogan 1.

Book SynopsisThe real significance of this book lies in the fact that it tells us more about the everyday life of black South Africans. It delves into the essence of black family life and the secret anguish of family members who often battle to cope. Niq Mhlongo. A secret torment for some, a proud responsibility for others, black tax is a daily reality for thousands of black South Africans. In this thought-provoking and moving anthology, a provocative range of voices share their deeply personal stories. With the majority of black South Africans still living in poverty today, many black middle-class households are connected to working-class or jobless homes. Some believe supporting family members is an undeniable part of African culture and question whether it should even be labelled as a kind of tax. Others point to the financial pressure it places on black students and professionals, who, as a consequence, struggle to build their own wealth. Many feel they are taking over what is essentially a government responsibility. The contributions also investigate the historical roots of black tax, the concept of the black family and the black middle class. In giving voice to so many different perspectives, Black Tax hopes to start a dialogue on this widespread social phenomenon.

Book SynopsisDieses Buch will unser Steuerrecht an seine Wurzeln zurückführen, zu einem einfachen, gerechten und für jeden Bürger verständlichen System. Ausgehend von den gegenwärtigen Unzulänglichkeiten erläutert der Autor Schritt für Schritt seine revolutionäre Alternative, die Einführung des Obolus: eine einzige Steuer, die alle anderen Abgaben ersetzen soll. Dabei orientiert sich der Obolus nicht am Ertrag, sondern an den Einnahmen. Querverweise zur aktuellen Besteuerung machen die Vorteile offenkundig. Der Autor demonstriert anhand realer Praxisfälle, wie sich die Umstellung des bisherigen Verfahrens auf den Obolus de facto auswirken und das Steuersystem eine bisher nicht gekannte Transparenz erhalten könnte.Der Leser reibt sich verwundert die Augen und fragt sich, warum der Gesetzgeber selbst noch nicht auf diese geniale Idee gekommen ist.Der Inhalt- Unzulänglichkeiten des jetzigen Steuerrechts- Halbteilungsgrundsatz- Grundsätzliches zum Obolus- Oboluspflichtige Einnahmen- Landes- und Gemeindesteuern- Auswirkungen auf das Preisniveau- BeispielrechnungenTable of Contents Vorwort.
