What is Tax law? It covers the rules, policies and laws that oversee the tax process, which involves charges on estates, transactions, property, income, licenses and more by the government. Taxation also includes duties on imports from foreign countries and all compulsory levies imposed by the government upon individuals for benefit of the state.

The intricate body of tax law covers payment of taxes to a minimum of four levels of government, either directly or indirectly. Indirect taxes are assessed against products and services that are meant to be consumed, but are paid to an intermediary. For example, when you buy coffee at a local corner store, the retailer charges you tax on your coffee, which he/she subsequently pays to the government. Direct taxes are those you pay directly to the government and are imposed against things like land or real property, personal property, and income.

There is a seemingly endless list of entities that create and enforce tax ... Read more »

Landlord-tenant law governs the rental of commercial and residential property. It is composed primarily of state statutory and common law. A number of states have based their statutory law on either the Uniform Residential Landlord And Tenant Act (URLTA) or the Model Residential Landlord-Tenant Code. Federal statutory law may be a factor in times of national/regional emergencies and in preventing forms of discrimination.

The basis of the legal relationship between a landlord and tenant is grounded in both contract and property law. The tenant has a property interest in the land (historically, a non-freehold estate) for a given period of time. See State Property Statues. The length of the tenancy may be for a given period of time, for an indefinite period of time, (e.g., renewable/cancelable on a month to month basis), terminable at any time by either party (at will), or at sufferance if the agreement has been terminated and the tenant refuses to leave (hold ...

Since the Great Recession millions of Americans have found themselves in dire financial straits. While filing bankruptcy is often the last resort, many have been left with no other choice.

Bankruptcy can be a devastating move, both financially and psychologically. You are unable to borrow money or use a credit card. Your credit score may be lower than your age. But there is life after bankruptcy.

When the University of Arkansas School of Law set up a program for law students to work with consumers who have filed for bankruptcy protection, one fact quickly became clear. These consumers waited too long to act.

It s very sad, said Tim Tarvin, associate professor and supervising attorney in the student-staffed Federal Practice Clinic.

Summary of Taft v. Bowers

Citation: 278 U.S. 470 (1929)

Relevant Facts. Taft was the recipient of stocks by gift from her father. Her father had purchased them several years earlier, and they had increased in value while he held them. The stocks further appreciated following her receipt of the gift from her father. Taft then sold the stocks. The IRS claimed that she was responsible for taxes on the appreciation from the time her father purchased the stocks. While Taft paid what the IRS claimed she owed, she instituted this suit against Bowers, in his official capacity as collector of taxes, and argued that she should only be responsible for the increase in value since the stocks came into her possession. The District Court agreed with Taft, but the Sixth Circuit reversed.

Issue. Under the relevant provisions of the tax code, is a donee responsible for the full increase in value of an asset from the time it wa ... Read more »
