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.

U.S. Master Depreciation Guide (2011

Available: December 2010

Old depreciation systems do not die - or even fade away very fast. Businesses and the practitioners that serve them must operate with three coexisting depreciation systems -Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) and the Treasury Department's Asset Depreciation System (ADR).CCH's U.S.

Master Depreciation Guide offers tax and accounting professionals who work with businesses a one-stop resource for guidance in understanding and applying the complex depreciation rules to their fixed assets. This area is especially challenging, because bits and pieces of applicable information must be gathered from a maze of Revenue Procedures, IRS Tables and IRS Regulations. These sources are frequently old and include some materials which may be non-applicable. This book pulls the pieces together, so practitioners can make sense of all the corresponding information and put the information into practice.

The U.S. Master Depreciation Guide includes several useful "quick reference tables." These include a list of trucks, SUVs, and vans that are exempt from the luxury car caps because they weigh more than 6,000 pounds, trucks with a bed-length under six feet which are subject to a $25,000 section 179 depreciation cap, a list of states that conform to the federal bonus depreciation and section 179 expensing rules, and a comprehensive table of assets and corresponding recovery periods with cross references to the location of the related U.S. Master Depreciation Guide explanation.

Published annually, this new edition is completely updated to reflect all depreciation rule changes through press time in December. A special Highlights section provides a quick overview of any new legislation, cases, rulings, and regulations occurring since last year's edition, with cross-references to the explanation paragraph in which they are reflected.

CONTENTS:

  • Discussion of the historical background of depreciation and depreciation fundamentals.
  • Coverage of :
    1. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), which was introduced by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and is applicable to most tangible depreciable property in service after 1986;
    2. Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) introduced by the Economic Recovery Act of 1981;
    3. General rules for pre-1981 property;
    4. Asset Depreciation Range (ADR) system which dates back to 1971;
    5. Code Sec. 179 expensing rules; and
    6. Amortization of intangibles, including section 197 intangibles

The Fair and Equitable Treatment Standard: A Guide to NAFTA Case Law on Article 1105

Published: October 2013


Since the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, several arbitral tribunals have rendered awards dealing with claims of breach of Article 1105. Some of these awards have been very controversial and have had a tremendous impact on the development of the concept of fair and equitable treatment (FET) and the evolution of international investment law. Yet, in spite of the fundamental importance of these awards, no comprehensive study had been undertaken to determine the meaning and the content of the FET standard under NAFTA Article 1105.

This book’s systematic analysis of the provision and its case law fills this analytical gap. Because Article 1105 is in many ways different from typical FET clauses contained within most investment treaties, the author examines the particular parameters under which it must be interpreted. He also analyzes how these specific features have influenced NAFTA tribunals’ interpretation of the provision, and how their assessments differ from awards rendered by other tribunals outside NAFTA.

Among the issues treated in the course of the analysis are the following:

  • The origin, development, nature and content of the concept of the ‘minimum standard of treatment’ and its interaction with the FET standard
  • The specific parameters under which Article 1105 must be interpreted, including contextual elements such as subsequent agreement and practice between the NAFTA Parties on matters of interpretation
  • The context in which the Free Trade Commission issued its Note of Interpretation in 2001 and how NAFTA tribunals have applied it
  • Whether or not the concepts of legitimate expectations, transparency, arbitrary conduct, discriminatory conduct, good faith, denial of justice, and due process have been considered by NAFTA tribunals as specific elements of protection to be accorded to investors under Article 1105
  • The many facets of these elements and the threshold of severity that NAFTA tribunals have required for finding a breach of Article 1105
  • The interaction between Article 1105 and other NAFTA provisions on national treatment, Most-Favored-Nation treatment, and expropriation
  • How NAFTA tribunals have assessed damages for breach of Article 1105

This comprehensive guide to NAFTA case law on Article 1105 is an important contribution to the on-going controversial debate about the scope and content of the FET standard under international law. It will be of great interest to counsel for investors and States as well as to arbitrators, academics and anyone interested in investor-State arbitration.
