With a useful index and a thorough bibliography.
Edwin R.A. Seligman 1861-1939] was an eminent economist and authority on tax issues. He was admitted to the New York State bar in 1884 and in the same year received an appointment as lecturer in the political science department at Columbia University, where he later became a professor of political economy and finance. Seligman was a cofounder of the American Economic Association, serving as Its president from 1902-1904, and was later president of the National Tax Association (1913-1915). He served as an adviser to New York State and New York City tax commissions and acted as consultant to the League of Nations (1922-1923) and the government of Cuba in 1931. He was the editor in chief of the Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences and editor of the Columbia University series Studies in History, Economics and Public Law. He was the author of numerous titles on taxation and economics including The Shifting and Incidence of Taxation (1892; 3rd ed., 1910), Progressive Taxation in Theory and Practice (1894; 2nd ed. 1908), Economic Interpretation of History (1902; 2nd ed. 1907), Principles of Economics (1907), Studies in Public Finance (1925) and Essays in Economics (1925).
"Professor Seligman's advocacy of the income tax in the various papers which were incorporated in this book] was an important factor in educating the American public to the point where the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment and of the law of 1913 was possible."

Today over 70 percent of the cross-border transactions take place between related enterprises. The growth of multinational enterprises doing cross-boarder transactions present increasingly complex taxation issues, both for the tax authorities and the companies themselves. International transfer pricing deals with those intra-group transactions where the open market regulator is absent. Transfer pricing has grown to be the most important issue on the tax agenda of multinational enterprises. During the last decades fundamental principles have developed on different levels in the global environment and differences among these guidelines and regulations are of great importance. This theses discuss the divergences of the three big guidelines produced by the OECD, the PATA and the EU, in particular the requirements of documentation, the different methods of arm's length principle and the penalties available. With this background, the Swedish regulation is regarded and examined as well.

A line-by-line preparation guide to the completely new and revised Form 990 for nonprofit organizations

The accurate and complete preparation of Form 990-the information return that must be filed annually by most types of tax-exempt organizations-is a key factor in maintaining public image and fundraising capabilities. The newly redesigned Form 990 was released in December 2008 with significant revisions to the initial June 2007 draft. Preparation of the new return will require tax-exempt organizations to gather extensive new information about their activities for disclosure on the new form beginning with their 2008 tax year.

In "Revised Form 990: A Line-by-Line Preparation Guide," authors Jody Blazek-who with other AICPA Task Force members was instrumental in effecting changes to the original IRS draft of the form-and Amanda Adams, provide step-by-step and line-by-line analysis and preparation guidelines for nonprofit professionals and nonprofessionals alike charged with preparing and submitting the form.

This hands-on workbook walks you through the process of producing an annual report to the IRS that demonstrates continued qualification for exempt status for a nonprofit organization, explaining the information requested page by page and part by part. It addresses the issues and challenges for each part, particularly the new schedules. As each part is explained, the authors suggest when certain answers have negative consequences. Guidance is provided for functional expense reporting and generally accepted accounting principles for reporting revenues. A good discussion of the differences between book and tax reporting and records needed to accurately display financials for tax purposes is included. The Form 990-PF and Form 990-T are also examined.

Get rid of the graduated income tax Adopt a tax on spending No deductions, no exemptions No returns to file Protect personal privacy With a 1 per cent rate of tax on all transactions the Treasury would have all the money needed to replace the graduated income tax, the alternative minimum tax, the estate (death) tax and many other smaller nuisance tax levies. All collection of the Universal Transaction Tax (UTT) would be made by taxpayers and deposited directly into the US Treasury's account within just a few days. The government would be on a cash basis immediately and would not have to wait up to eighteen months or more for the arrival of tax money to pay bills. The UTT tax would apply to all transactions and would be taxable to the 'buyer' in each transaction, the 'buyer' being the party who pays the money. The Federal and state governments would not be taxable. There would be two types of bank accounts, commercial and personal. Personal accounts would not be affected by the tax.
