Published On :: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 09:53:33 GMT

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.

Chapter 1       Taxable and Tax-Free Acquisitions
Chapter 2       Basic Concepts in Deductibility and Capitalization
Chapter 3       Accounting for Restructuring Transactions under Code §351, 338, 381, 721, and 1001

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

By www.cch.ca
Published On :: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:08:43 GMT

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.
