  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hearing on the Nomination of Steve Mnuchin to Be Secretary of the Treasury Senate Finance Committee Questions for the Record January 2017
    Hearing on the Nomination of Steve Mnuchin to be Secretary of the Treasury Senate Finance Committee Questions for the Record January 2017 Senator Orrin G. Hatch 1. Last year the Finance Committee reported out a bi-partisan retirement reform bill, on a 26-to-0 vote (S. 3471, 114th Cong.), that included reforms such as additional incentives for small businesses that set up retirement plans, authorization for employers to join so-called "multiple employer plans" so that they can join forces to share the costs of offering a plan, and a provision making it easier for employers to provide, and for employees to purchase, retirement annuities in their 401(k)-type plans. You may not have had a chance to focus on retirement reform legislative issues yet, but retirement reform has been a priority with the Committee for quite some time and has very strong, bipartisan support. Can you assure me that the Treasury Department will work with the Finance Committee in the 115th Congress to enact retirement reform? We understand there are issues with multiemployer plans, and we look forward to working with you and your staff on retirement reform. 2. Trade: Financial Services Data Among my concerns with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, agreement is the fact that it failed to prohibit local data storage requirements in the financial services sector. This outcome was inconsistent with the clear direction on data flows that Congress set out in TPA. These types of localization requirements are a serious problem for U.S. financial services companies, who often face pressure to store their data overseas.

  • Nomi Prins Shifting US-Japan Geo-Politics, Banking Landscape and Financial Regulations in the Trump Era
    Nomi Prins Shifting US-Japan Geo-Politics, Banking Landscape and Financial Regulations in the Trump Era (Summary of Q&A) Date: 11 July 2017 Venue: CIGS Meeting Room, Tokyo, Japan CopyrightⒸ2017 CIGS. All rights reserved. Questioner 1: Which sector do you think the next financial crisis will come from? You think it will come from the corporate sector, not the public sector? What is your view on the risk posed by the automotive sector? Nomi Prins: It was the mortgage system becoming a part of complex securities created and distributed by the big banks that caused the last crisis. This happened because banks always go where it is easiest to make money, and they thought, before the crisis, that it would be simplest with subprime mortgages. Banks have since stopped providing as many subprime loans. They have made it more difficult for individuals and small companies to get mortgages and loans. Yet, they have made it easier to get auto loans, in part because it’s easier to repossess a car than a house. However, if auto loans default, the market and financial system will not be impacted or care as much. It is a problem that banks are selling subprime auto loans, but if something happens, it will not cause a crisis. The same can be said for consumer debt and student loan debt. For many people student loan debt is unsustainable. And, it is more likely multiple default issues across these consumer sectors, will collectively cause problems than any single one of them. These issues are all related to the fact that banks have had the opportunity to have a great amount of cheap capital provided for them for many years.

  • April 26, 2020 the Honorable Steven Mnuchin Secretary Department Of
    April 26, 2020 The Honorable Steven Mnuchin Secretary Department of the Treasury 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20220 Dear Secretary Mnuchin: We write regarding the Treasury Department’s Coronavirus Relief Fund Guidance to urge you to promptly revise your interpretation so states, Tribal, and local governments can use these funds to prevent further economic damage. While the term “lost revenue” does not appear specifically in Title V of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a plain text reading of the law leads to the logical conclusion that lost or delayed revenues are a direct cost created by the coronavirus that were never accounted for in any budget. Therefore, we believe it is fully within your authority and the intent of the CARES Act that these funds may be used to replace lost or delayed tax revenues and maintain public services. In the midst of an economic collapse, the intent of the entire CARES Act is to provide flexible help to a wide range of Americans. To prevent the flexible use of these relief funds is a choice that is neither required nor intended by law. We are not alone in this view. Governors and Senators from both sides of the aisle have set aside ideology and urged you to follow the law as written instead of creating more bureaucratic red tape in the middle of a public health emergency and ensuing economic crisis. Of all the regulations that this Administration seeks to cut, it should start with this one. We all have a common interest in preserving as much of our economy as possible so that we are well positioned for a robust recovery.
