It would be hard to find a more useful guide to international sales agreements. Compared to domestic transactions, the risks associated are greatly multiplied and it is a rare international sales agreement that can rely on minor variations of standard terms, as is so often the case in domestic agreements. Foreign laws, export/import and currency exchange controls, treaties, transit issues, inspection of goods, insurance, tariffs - all these and more must be taken into account in contract negotiations.

For lawyers charged with drafting an international sales contract, this expanded and updated second edition is invaluable. Clause by clause, it clearly details the drafting process, commenting expertly on every issue likely to arise as it goes. Designed to cover every contingency, including definitions, Incoterms, price adjustments, documentation, labeling, delivery dates, limitation of liability, confidentiality, arbitration and antitrust issues, this book also covers relevant national circumstances in the commentary to each clause.

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)).

This webinar will highlight some of the topics found in CCH's "Implementing Estate Freezes", authored by David Louis of Minden Gross.

• Share provisions
• Section 85 vs section 86 freezes
