Tax Accounting in Mergers and Acquisitions 2011 (M&A - U.S.)

Available: October 2010

Author: Glenn R. Carrington

Tax Accounting in Mergers and Acquisitions gives in-depth, practical coverage of today's key issues in corporate acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations, and restructurings from a transactional perspective. It will help your client:

  1. Decide if the transaction should be taxable or nontaxable.
  2. Structure the deal for the best results-stock or asset acquisition.
  3. Achieve desired business objectives.
This book considers the tax accounting implications of structuring and restructuring transactions including those described in Code 351 (Transfer to Corporation Controlled by Transferor), 338 (Certain Stock Purchases Treated as Asset Acquisitions), 381 (Carryovers in Certain Corporate Acquisitions), 721 (Nonrecognition of Gain or Loss on Contributions to a Partnership), and 1001 (Gain or Loss on Disposition of Property). It discusses the rules relative to a taxpayer’s ability to carry over methods of accounting, to obtain audit protection through filing accounting method changes, to preserve favorable methods of accounting, to determine the effect of the transaction on any unamortized Code 481(a) adjustments (Adjustments Required by Changes in Accounting Methods), and to use the chosen structure as a means of achieving appropriate tax accounting objectives. In addition, it describes some of the most common types of accounting method exposure items that arise during the course of due diligence and some of the alternatives for mitigating exposure to the buyer. Furthermore, it describes the most significant anti-abuse rules that prevent taxpayers from unreasonably taking advantage of these provisions. Finally, it addresses some of the pitfalls that taxpayers should take into account in structuring transactions. In addition to updates of all rulings, cases and legislation, the 2010 edition contains a new chapter on Bankruptcy.

Summary and Analysis of Fiscal Year 2015 U.S. Budget Proposal

Complimentary: www.cch.ca/2015USBudget

On March 4, 2014, President Obama released a $3.9 trillion proposed fiscal year (FY) 2015 federal budget, with a mix of expanded child, family and education tax credits as well as some curbed tax preferences for higher income individuals and businesses. Funding for the proposed tax breaks would come from, among other proposals, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, extending payroll taxes to cover certain distributions from professional service companies, and restricting the availability of like-kind exchange treatment for real estate transactions. In conjunction with the budget, the Treasury Department also released its Green Book, providing explanations of the proposed budget.

CCH's Tax Briefing: Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Proposals provides you with a summary of the budget proposal.

    BLUE BOOK 2013: Joint Committee on Taxation's General Explanation of Tax Legislation Enacted in the 112th Congress

     Authors: Lois Ruffner Plank, Donald Morris, Bryan R. Plank and Christie Plank Ciraulo

    Provides a detailed explanation of the tax-related provisions contained in over 40 pieces of legislation enacted in the 112th Congress during 2011 and 2012.

    The Blue Book provides the legislative history for each Act, a provision-by-provision description of the prior law and new law, the reasons for the law change if the provision was reported out of committee before enactment, and the effective date of each law change. Descriptions prepared by the Joint Committee on Taxation were included in the absence of other committee reports or when the Joint Committee issued a contemporaneous technical explanation of the bill. An Appendix shows the estimated budget effects of the tax legislation enacted in the 112th Congress for fiscal years 2010 – 2012.

    The Blue Book's explanations serve as a useful guide in understanding the intent and meaning of the new tax laws and, along with committee and conference reports, is considered substantial authority for the tax treatment of an item for purposes of avoiding the Code Sec. 6662 accuracy-related penalty on substantial understatements of income tax (Reg. §1.6662-4(d)(3)(iii)).

    Archived Webinar: Legal Project Management: Why, What and How

    In our current economic environment lawyers, both in in-house and external counsel, need to apply stronger and more transparent legal project management practices.  To ensure legal matters are handled efficiently, and to meet the needs and expectations of the business, in-house counsel need to partner with the business, and with external counsel, to scope, plan, staff and monitor the work. This webinar will provide an introduction to the primary elements of legal project management and discuss the benefits LPM can produce for in-house counsel in working with the business, and when working with external counsel. However, implementing LPM often means changing the way we practice.  This is not easy. We will look at the issues and challenges in getting a team to engage in this new approach and provide strategies for success.  The panel will include both internal and external counsel and will discuss real implementation scenarios and issues.

    Key Learning Objectives:

    • Understand the professional obligations to adopt legal project management practices;
    • Understand the benefits of legal project management working within an organization and for an in-house team working with external counsel;
    • Understand the basic components of legal project management;
    • Understand the different approaches to preparing budgets and estimates; and
