CEO Duty Deferral Letter to President Trump March 31, 2020 The President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Trump, Thank you for the unprecedented steps your Administration has taken to meet the enormous liquidity challenges that have been created by the economic fallout of the deadly COVID 19 pandemic. These steps have included delaying many payments, such as income tax and student loans. Until these payments are ultimately made, these delays will give Americans access to much needed cash to help them survive during these challenging times. In that vein, we are writing to ask for additional, urgent help this week. We are urgently asking you to delay the collection of duties, including those that many companies were required to pay this past Friday, for a period of 90-180 days to give companies like ours access to cash that would normally be paid to the U.S. government. Delaying duties helps us preserve cash flow – critically important during a prolonged period of little to no revenue – allowing us to keep our businesses in operation so we can preserve U.S. jobs. At the same time, delaying duties does not undermine the effect of tariffs on trade flows because the money is still due. Mr. President, only you can take this swift action, but in doing so, you would provide immediate relief to both large and small businesses, including manufacturers, retailers and other service providers, farmers and ranchers. Sincerely, Sarah Adelson Mike Altirs Terry Anderson CEO Senior Executive Vice President / CEO Sally LaPointe Partner American Promotional Events, New York, NY Ballet Group Inc Inc DBA TNT Fireworks GMA Accessories, Inc Florence, AL Sachin Ahluwalia Sondra Roberts Inc President South Hackensack, NJ Michael Antonelli Ank International President New York, NY Carolina Amato CAMT Automotive (NA) Co, President/Designer/Founder Ltd.

  • Ways and Means Committee's Request for the Former President's
    (Slip Opinion) Ways and Means Committee’s Request for the Former President’s Tax Returns and Related Tax Information Pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6103(f )(1) Section 6103(f )(1) of title 26, U.S. Code, vests the congressional tax committees with a broad right to receive tax information from the Department of the Treasury. It embod- ies a long-standing judgment of the political branches that the tax committees are uniquely suited to receive such information. The committees, however, cannot compel the Executive Branch to disclose such information without satisfying the constitutional requirement that the information could serve a legitimate legislative purpose. In assessing whether requested information could serve a legitimate legislative purpose, the Executive Branch must give due weight to Congress’s status as a co-equal branch of government. Like courts, therefore, Executive Branch officials must apply a pre- sumption that Legislative Branch officials act in good faith and in furtherance of legit- imate objectives. When one of the congressional tax committees requests tax information pursuant to section 6103(f )(1), and has invoked facially valid reasons for its request, the Executive Branch should conclude that the request lacks a legitimate legislative purpose only in exceptional circumstances. The Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has invoked sufficient reasons for requesting the former President’s tax information. Under section 6103(f )(1), Treasury must furnish the information to the Committee. July 30, 2021 MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE ACTING GENERAL COUNSEL DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Internal Revenue Code requires the Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to keep tax returns and related information confidential, 26 U.S.C.

Cover Image Credit: Andrew Cosand, Creative Commons Executive Summary You buy something, but it breaks or doesn’t work right. So you bring it back to the company that sold it to you to get fixed. Sometimes they fix it -- they want to make sure the customer is happy. But sometimes, they won’t. Nearly all appliances or electronic devices come with some form of written warranty to clarify when repairs would be covered, and under what conditions. When manufacturers choose to provide written or “express” warranties, there are laws that govern how they work.

  • Myth of the Paycheck Protection Program
    The “Small Business” Myth of the Paycheck Protection Program Thomas W. Joo†* and Alex Wheeler** Congress responded to the pandemic-induced recession with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. A highly publicized feature of the Act was the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Congress presented the PPP’s forgivable loans as a lifeline for small businesses reeling from loss of revenue. When initial funding for the program was quickly exhausted, the media, politicians, and the public excoriated large corporations, such as Shake Shack and AutoNation, for having taken millions in PPP loans. This paper argues that despite the universal condemnation, large corporations like these acted consistently with the intent of the PPP. Instead, the real blame falls on Congress for carelessly designing a program without a coherent policy objective. Although politicians characterized the PPP as a rescue program for small business, it was designed to assist a wide range of firms, with no preference for very small, disadvantaged, or economically troubled firms. The PPP was not limited to businesses that lacked other access to capital, and explicitly included hotel and restaurant chains and large franchise networks. Despite its generous terms and wide applicability, the PPP also contained arbitrary and confusing restrictions on how loan † Copyright © 2020 Thomas W.

    RESEARCH CORNER November 30, 2020 OBSERVATIONS • COVID-19: AstraZeneca & the University of Oxford’s vaccine candidate’s results showed an efficacy rate of 70%, on average. Depending on dosage, effectiveness ranged from 62% to 90%.1 • Unleaded gasoline reaches a national average of $2.11 a gallon – the lowest for a Thanksgiving week since 2015. AAA estimates that travel by automobile will account for 95% of Thanksgiving holiday travel.2 • CoStar Group estimates that retailers are in a $52 billion hole of missed rent payments. Examples include Signet Jewelers which had deferred $78 million in rent payments while Bed, Bath, and Beyond has held back nearly $51 million in rents.2 • According to Adobe Analytics, Thanksgiving Day retail spending hit a new record of nearly $5bn, a +21.5% from last year. Almost 50% of transactions originated from a smart phone. • Business activity in the U.S. continued its upward trajectory in November, reaching the fastest pace since March 2015 according to IHS Markit Purchasing Managers Index data. The Eurozone has seen a deceleration in activity, to 5-month lows, as widespread lockdowns have been more broadly enacted.2 • For the first time, Tesla’s market capitalization exceeded $500bn and is set to be included into the S&P 500 on 21-Dec. If included as of 24-Nov, Tesla would be the 8th largest company by this measure – beating out the likes of Visa ($459.8bn), Walmart ($427.7bn), Johnson & Johnson ($378.7bn), and J.P. Morgan ($359.3bn).3 • The global airline industry is expected to lose -$157bn during 2020 and 2021, marking the worst 2-years on record and down -60% from June’s forecasts.
