  • An Analysis of a Consumption Tax for California
    An Analysis of a Consumption Tax for California 1 Fred E. Foldvary, Colleen E.

The authors wish to thank the Center for California Studies at California State University, Sacramento for their funding. Executive Summary This study attempts to answer the question: should California broaden its use of a consumption tax, and if so, how? In considering this question, we must also consider the ultimate purpose of a system of taxation: namely to raise sufficient revenues to support the spending goals of the state in the most efficient manner. Recent tax reform proposals in California have included a business net receipts tax (BNRT), as well as a more comprehensive sales tax. However, though the timing is right, given the increasingly global and digital nature of California’s economy, the recent 2008 recession tabled the discussion in favor of more urgent matters.

  • 2007 Year-End Estate Planning Review December 2007
    ClientAdvisory 2007 Year-End Estate Planning Review December 2007 There were many developments over the past year affecting estate planning on the national, local and international levels. The Trusts and Estates Practice at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP is pleased to provide you with a summary of some of the most significant developments, along with recommendations for you to consider at year-end and for next year. Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Tax Rates The top federal estate tax rate, which is 45%, will stay at that rate until 2010. In 2010, current law calls for the estate tax to be repealed, making the federal estate tax rate 0% for 2010. In 2011, current law calls for the estate tax to return, with a top rate of 55%. The top gift tax rate is scheduled to fall based on the same schedule. However, even after repeal of the estate tax (if it happens, scheduled to take place in 2010), certain gifts will remain subject to tax at the top individual income tax rate. Under the income tax rate reduction schedule provided by applicable law, the top individual income tax rate is currently (and scheduled in 2010 to be) 35%. Presumably, the gift tax rate will therefore be 35% after the repeal of the estate tax in 2010. Also, the generation-skipping tax is equal to the maximum estate tax rate. Therefore, as the estate tax rates change, the generation-skipping tax rates will change as well. Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Tax Exemptions The exemption from the federal estate tax, called the “applicable exclusion amount,” will be the same in 2008 as it was in 2007 – $2,000,000 per person.

  • Monarch News March/April 2019
    Monarch News March/April 2019 CEO’s Executive Summary The bilateral relationship whipsawed from good news to bad news to utter frustration these past few weeks. With the delivery of the International Trade Commission’s economic analysis and the Mexican Congress’ approval of labor reform, the door has, theoretically, creaked open for the ratification of the USMCA. Yet many U.S. domestic hurdles remain, including metals tariffs, significant Democratic (and some Republican) Party opposition, and a rapidly closing window of opportunity due to the Canadian and U.S. electoral calendars. Despite our highest hopes, we remain concerned that ratification of the agreement will likely be postponed until after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. President Trump finally nominated a new ambassador to Mexico, but Christopher Landau waits for Senate confirmation along with 31 other ambassadorial nominees. Jared Kushner’s seemingly successful March visit to Mexico was followed by a good ministerial meeting on migration, but both were overshadowed by a series of Trump tweets in which the president threatened to close the border and tax Mexican auto exports if Mexico did not meet his migration demands. And, although the president ultimately backed down, his decision to reassign border personnel away from ports of Washington, D.C. | Los Angeles | Mexico City | Monterrey www.monarch-global.com entry generated massive and costly delays at key border crossings. His constant tweets attacking Mexico remain a continuing irritant in the bilateral relationship that is very unlikely to abate. In Mexico, President López Obrador announced that his government would stop implementing the 2013 education reform.

IRC Section 1222(7) defines "net long-term capital gain" as the excess of long-term capital gains realized in the taxable year over long-term capital losses for the same year. Thus, if total long-term gains for a taxable year amounted to $10,000 and total long-term losses to $5,000, the net long-term gain for the year would be $5,000. Conversely, if the amount of gain and loss were reversed, the taxpayer would realize a net long-term capital loss of $5,000.1 [b] Net Short-Term Capital Gain or Loss. Net short-term capital gains and losses are determined in the same fashion as those which are long-term, that is, net short- term gain is the excess of short-term gains over short-term losses,2 and net short-term loss, the excess of such losses over such gains.3 [c] Net Capital Gain and Net Capital Loss.
