Lidstonet Automatic data processing, identification numbers for taxpayers, with- holding of income tax from dividends and interest, and tax subsidies for investments in new equipment, revolutionary as they are in United States tax philosophy,' could normally have been expected to obscure the bitter infighting over those portions of H.R. 10650, the Revenue Bill of 1962, which prescribe new rules for taxation of foreign income.2 However, two years of publicizing the flow of gold toward Europe have so dramatized the possibilities for income tax avoidance (and even evasion) in foreign operations and through foreign bank accounts and tax havens that envious taxpayers can almost sympathize with Ingemar 'Johansson's failure to convince the district court that he was the fighting chattel of a Swiss corporation.3 From 1954 to 1961 the political battle was for freedom from income tax on foreign earnings.

  • The Federal Excise Tax on Gasoline and the Highway Trust Fund: a Short History
    Order Code RL30304 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web The Federal Excise Tax on Gasoline and the Highway Trust Fund: A Short History Updated April 4, 2006 Pamela J. Jackson Analyst in Public Sector Economics Government and Finance Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress The Federal Excise Tax on Gasoline and the Highway Trust Fund: A Short History Summary Excise taxes have long been a part of our country’s revenue history. In the field of gasoline taxation, the states led the way with Oregon enacting the first tax on motor fuels in 1919. By 1932, all states and the District of Columbia had followed suit with tax rates that ranged between two and seven cents per gallon. The federal government first imposed its excise tax on gasoline at a one-cent per gallon rate in 1932. The gas tax was enacted to correct a federal budgetary imbalance. It continued to support general revenue during World War II and the Korean War. Economists know the gasoline excise tax as a “manufacturer’s excise tax” because the government imposes it at production (i.e., the producer, refiner, or importer) for efficiency in collection. Particularly in the short run, when the demand for gasoline is relatively inelastic, economists recognize any increase in the gasoline tax is generally passed forward to the retailer, translating into a higher retail gas sales price. Thus, the burden for much of the tax ultimately falls on the consumer. The Highway Revenue Act of 1956 established the federal Highway Trust Fund for the direct purpose of funding the construction of an interstate highway system, and aiding in the finance of primary, secondary, and urban routes.

  • The Statutory Evolution of the Excess Profits Tax
    THE STATUTORY EVOLUTION OF THE EXCESS PROFITS TAX C. RUDOLF PETERSON* It is less than three years since Congress, following the example of World War I, enacted a general excess profits tax-the Excess Profits Tax Act of i94o. In the inter- vening period there has been one act, the Excess Profits Tax Amendments of 1941, devoted entirely to amendment of the original provisions; a second, the Revenue Act of 1941, which made further important amendments; and now recently a third, the Revenue Act of I942, which, of its 208 pages, contains 47 on the subject of excess profits-2o more than the original Act itself. Inter arma non silent leges. The 194o Act came as a result of the greatly accelerated defense effort which was one of the consequences of the German successes in the West in the spring of that year. On May 16, the President urged upon Congress the pressing necessity for increased defense expenditures.1 Congress responded immediately and, to assist in financing the additional appropriations, passed the Revenue Act of 194o (to be distinguished from the Second Revenue Act of i94o, Title II of which constituted the Excess Profits Tax Act of 1940). By this Act, individual surtax rates were in- creased, personal exemptions were reduced, corporate rates were raised by i%, and a defense tax of io% of the tax otherwise computed was imposed on all taxpayers, individuals and corporations alike, for a period of five years. This Act was approved June : 5th. The administration next turned its attention to the social consequences of the greatly increased expenditures to be made by the Government for war purposes, the major problem being the extent to which taxpayers should be permitted to make money out of the national emergency.

  • Federal Excise Taxes: an Introduction and General Analysis
    Federal Excise Taxes: An Introduction and General Analysis August 26, 2013 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R43189 Federal Excise Taxes: An Introduction and General Analysis Summary There are four common types of excise taxes: (1) sumptuary (or “sin”) taxes, (2) regulatory or environmental taxes, (3) benefit-based taxes (or user charges), and (4) luxury taxes. Sumptuary taxes were traditionally imposed for moral reasons, but are currently rationalized, in part, to discourage a specific activity that is thought to have negative spillover effects (or “externalities”) on society. Regulatory or environmental taxes are imposed to offset external costs associated with regulating public safety or to discourage consumption of a specific commodity that is thought to have negative externalities on society. Benefit-based taxes (which include user charges) are imposed to charge users of a particular public good for financing and maintenance of that public good. Lastly, luxury taxes are primarily imposed as one way to raise revenue, particularly from higher-income households. This report provides an introduction and general analysis of excise taxes. First, a brief history of U.S. excise tax policy is provided. Second, the various forms of excise taxes and their respective administrative advantages and disadvantages are described. Third, the effect of federal excise taxes on federal, state, and local tax revenue is discussed. Fourth, the economic effects of various types of excise taxes are analyzed. The effects on consumer behavior and equity among taxpayers could be important issues for assessment of current excise tax policy or for the design of new excise taxes. Lastly, a list of references to other CRS reports on specific excise taxes is presented.

Who were the people to first inhabit the northern and southern continents? Why did they come? How did they get here? How long was their migration? A possible narrative suggests that the movement of ancient people to the New World began when they crossed a land bridge that once existed between what we today call Siberia and Alaska, a bridge that later dis- appeared because of glacial melting and is now covered by water and known as the Bering Strait. It is also possible that these early people were motivated by wanderlust or the need for a new source of food. Perhaps they were searching for a better climate, and maybe they came for religious reasons, to escape persecution or find a more congenial area to practice their partic u lar beliefs.

INTRODUCTION 1. The States of New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and New Jersey (the “Plaintiff States”) bring this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to invalidate the new $10,000 cap on the federal tax deduction for state and local taxes (“SALT”). Congress has included a deduction for all or a significant portion of state and local taxes in every tax statute since the enactment of the first federal income tax in 1861. The new cap effectively eviscerates the SALT deduction, overturning more than 150 years of precedent by drastically curtailing the deduction’s 1 Case 1:18-cv-06427 Document 1 Filed 07/17/18 Page 2 of 52 scope. As the drafters of the Sixteenth Amendment1 and every subsequent Congress have understood, the SALT deduction is essential to prevent the federal tax power from interfering with the States’ sovereign authority to make their own choices about whether and how much to invest in their own residents, businesses, infrastructure, and more—authority that is guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment and foundational principles of federalism.

MINNESOTA LAW REVIEW Journal of the State Bar Association VOLUME 27 FEBRUARY, 1943 No. 3 THE REVENUE ACT OF 1942 By HENRY ROTTSCHAEFER* T HE part of the public which has thus far borne the bulk of federal taxes since the adoption of the Sixteenth Amendment has become accustomed to the appearance of a new revenue law about every second year. There have been few revenue laws that have made such important changes in measuring the federal tax- payer's liability as the Revenue Act of 1942. The sharp decrease in the individual's credits against net income is expected to add millions to the class of those liable to federal income taxation. This alone would justify an exposition of the important changes made by the latest Revenue Act. There are, however, additional reasons of considerable importance for such exposition. Long hallowed principles for computing federal estate and gift taxes have been etensively modified. It is the purpose of the following discussion to survey the more important amendments of the Internal Revenue Code' made by the Revenue Act of 1942.2 Its scope will be limited to those changes that affect the estate tax, the gift tax, and the income tax.
