Multistate Guide to Trusts and Trust Administration, 2012 Edition (with CD)

Available: October 2011 

A multistate guide that covers how to set up and administer trusts in all fifty states. It enables the practitioner to keep abreast of the increasingly complex state rules that govern the establishment, maintenance and taxation of trusts and is of interest to the accountant and financial planner who makes provisions for his client's wealth management.

The book deals with the individual state rules for the creation of a trust, for appointing a trustee (including the qualifications that the trustee must have and the fiduciary duties that the trustee will owe to the grantor and the beneficiaries). The book discusses state requirements for modifying or revoking the trust. It covers the issues that arise if the grantor wishes to move the situs of the trust from one state to another. The permissible duration of a trust is also considered as is the Rule Against Perpetuities in states where this is still an issue.

This publication also discusses the accounting aspects of maintaining a trust from the state point of view, including creditor's rights in a trust, the different distribution standards in trust agreements, the effect of the Uniform Principal and Income Act (as adopted by each individual state), investment standards and total return trusts.

Also included is a discussion of the different state income tax rules, including forms and instructions for each state.

Multistate Guide to Sales and Use Tax Audits (with CD-ROM), 2012

Author: Daniel M. Davis, MBA (Taxation), CPA, CFE

Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed.

Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes.

This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.

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

Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition

Published: December 2011


Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive, practical, and theoretical framework for mediating disputes over rights in Canada. One of the unique features of this book is that it brings together, in one source, all of the multi-disciplinary literature on negotiation and mediation in the important context of conflicts over rights. The central theme is the power of authentic "talk" and "listening" in the resolution of our most difficult disputes.

The author provides strategic advice on the best dispute resolution practices and the role of lawyers and law in legal dispute negotiations. Practitioners will develop an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of dispute resolution and the tailoring of facilitative practices to particular disputes or barriers for successful interventions.

This resource was written for lawyers, mediators, and other conflict resolution professionals, such as human resource practitioners, judges, and tribunal members. As well, particular attention was also paid to law students.

What's included:

  • An update of the most recent multi-disciplinary literature on dispute resolution in one accessible source;
  • An analysis of a wide range of cutting-edge techniques for intervening in legal disputes, particularly those that are emotional or involving many parties;
  • Extensive updates on the role of emotions, ethics, and on-line technology in conflict resolution;
  • Descriptions of the practice routines of experienced negotiators and mediators in preparing to intervene;
  • A review of new and evolving mediation theories; and
  • An analysis of recent developments in the law pertaining to the confidentiality of mediated settlement discussions.

About the Author
The Honourable George W. Adams, Q.C. is one of Canada's most experienced professional mediators. He is an award winning author as well as a former superior court judge, law professor, agency head, senior bureaucrat, and legal practitioner. He has used Mediating Justice to educate law students at the University of Toronto School of Law in negotiation theory and practice and to provide mediation training to senior administrative tribunal members and lawyers.

Dubbed the "guru" of mediation by the National Post, Adams has mediated in a vast range of legal conflict situations. In 1997 he resigned from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, in a rare instance of a judge stepping down from the bench to establish a neutral dispute resolution practice.
