Principles of Business Taxation (2014) (U.S.)

The CCH Principles of Business Taxation course approaches the study of taxation from the perspective of the student who will become a business person faced with decisions that are inevitably affected by tax considerations. This perspective leads to a very different coverage in this textbook - coverage that is useful for accounting, finance and general business majors. The new edition focuses on the central concepts that build our tax framework and avoids small exceptions.
Many items that pertain specifically to businesses (for example, inventory valuation issues) usually not discussed in a traditional undergraduate tax textbook are covered in this book. Although so many of the exclusions, deductions, and credits apply equally to individual and corporate taxpayers, this book focuses on the business perspective.
 
?    PART I: OVERVIEW OF TAXES AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX SYSTEM
?    PART II: FEDERAL TAXATION OF BUSINESS INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS
?    PART III: TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BUSINESS PROPERTY
?    PART IV: CALCULATING TAX LIABILITY AND TAXES OWED
?    PART V: SPECIFIC BUSINESS ENTITY ISSUES
?    PART VI: Taxation of International Transactions

Principles of Business Taxation (2013) (U.S.)

Available: March 2012

Approaches the study of taxation from the perspective of the student who will become a business person faced with business decisions that are inevitably affected by tax considerations. This perspective leads to a very different coverage in this textbook. The new edition focuses on the central concepts that build our tax framework and avoids small exceptions and details to ensure that the student can confidently master the critical underpinnings of federal taxation. It abandons minutia that not only affects a very small number of taxpayers, but also tends to change often.

Many items that pertain specifically to businesses (for example, inventory valuation issues) usually not discussed in a traditional undergraduate tax textbook are covered in this book. Although so many of the exclusions, deductions, and credits apply equally to individual and corporate taxpayers, this book focuses on the business perspective. An advantage to this approach is that most of the students who take only one course in taxation will learn how businesses are taxed and, in turn, will have a better appreciation for how taxes affect business decisions.

While the focus is on concepts and how taxes affect business decisions, individual income taxation is not abandoned. After all, many core tax concepts apply to individuals as well as businesses, and this book is not shy in pointing out such application. It also includes a special chapter on individuals (sole proprietorships) and one on pass-through entities that tie together the underlying threads concerned with these taxpayers throughout the text.

1. OVERVIEW OF TAXES AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX SYSTEM
2. FEDERAL TAXATION OF BUSINESS INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS
3. TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BUSINESS PROPERTY
4. CALCULATING TAX LIABILITY AND TAXES OWED
5. SPECIFIC BUSINESS ENTITY ISSUES

Business Succession Planning Answer Book – 2015 (U.S.)

Author: Ann Burns

Explores the issues that arise when the current owners of a family business wish to retire or otherwise transfer ownership of the business. These issues include ensuring that the owners have enough money to retire on, providing for what will happen to the business – whether there will there be a transfer of ownership or whether the business will dissolve, providing for who will take over the management of the business and how ownership will be transferred. Discussing and resolving these issues within the family can also be complicated and contentious, depending on the family dynamics. Essentially, business succession can be broken down into three main categories:  management, ownership and taxes. This publication discusses the distinction between management and ownership, exploring the possibility of transferring the responsibility for managing the business to one child while transferring equal shares of business ownership to all children. Business succession planning also looks at the minimization of taxes upon death. This may involve asset transfer tax strategies, for example freezing the value of the business while transferring the ownership. This publication explains how to accomplish these goals.

Chapter 1         Introduction to Business Succession Planning
Chapter 2         The Advisor's Role in Business Succession Planning
Chapter 3         Non-Tax Aspects of Family Business Succession
Chapter 4         Common Goals of Business Owners
Chapter 5         Key Features of Buy-Sell Agreements for the Business Owner
Chapter 6         Key Features of an Estate Plan for the Business Owner
Chapter 7         Redemptions, Recapitalizations, and Restructuring

Chapter 10       Transfers to Family
Chapter 11       Charitable Strategies and Business Succession Planning
