Talking Tax- Episode 54- The European Union and the Digital Economy

Gary D. Sprague of Baker McKenzie joins Talking Tax with host Dolores Gregory for a discussion of the EU’s efforts to tax the “digital economy.” Gary is a regular contributor to the TM International Journal. In a recent column, he raised concerns about an EU proposal to adopt special rules for taxing companies that engage in business online – one creating a ‘digital’ permanent establishment and the other imposing a special levy on specific transactions – both of which represent a retreat from the arm’s length standard. In this interview, Gary discusses the problems these proposals raise not just for e-commerce but for all companies that do business across borders.

Musk Can Fume, But He Probably Can't Leave Delaware

Elon Musk was unhappy, to put it mildly, with the ruling last week from a Delaware court that invalidated a $55.8 billion pay package he received from Tesla, his electric car company. Shortly afterward, he threatened to move Tesla's incorporation out of Delaware to a less shareholder-friendly state. But, as we discuss in this episode of our news podcast, On The Merits, doing so will likely just land Musk back in the same Delaware court that's the target of his current ire. Bloomberg Law reporters Mike Leonard and Jennifer Kay explain why this court voided Musk's massive pay package, and why the things about Delaware that aggravate him are also what make it the corporate home for nearly every public company in America.

Talking Tax- Episode 67- PwC's Pam Olson Provides Status Update on Tax Law Rules

The IRS faces a long list of tasks if it plans to complete all of the items on its priority guidance plan to implement the new tax law. The Internal Revenue Service has highlighted several projects, including the pass-through deduction under tax code Section 199A and new international base erosion measures, to address by June 30, the end of the agency's business year. Pam Olson, the U.S. deputy tax leader and Washington National Tax Services practice leader at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, joined Talking Tax host Allyson Versprille on April 20 to discuss the status of regulations for the 2017 tax act (Pub. L. No. 115-97) and what taxpayers and practitioners should expect this summer. Before joining PwC, Olson was assistant secretary for tax policy at the Treasury Department. It may be difficult for the government to meet that end-of-June target if history is any indication, according to Olson. The IRS and Treasury have made good progress so far with guidance on the repatriation tax on foreign earnings and profits and the new limitation on the deductibility of business interest expense, she said.

Tax Cut 2.0 Package in the Mix for September

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) wants the House to vote by the end of the month on a second round of tax cuts known as Tax 2.0. The package would make some of the temporary provisions in the 2017 tax law permanent and create new retirement and innovation tax incentives. But GOP leaders could face resistance from some members in their party opposed to making the cap on state and local tax deductions permanent. During this episode of Hill Roundtable, Bloomberg Tax’s Allyson Versprille and Kaustuv Basu talk to Amanda Iacone about Tax 2.0 and more. Host: Amanda Iacone. Producer: Nicholas Anzalotta-Kynoch

Talking Tax - Episode 77 - Do Proposed Regulations for §199A Provide Clarity for Business Owners?

Jim Kehl of Weil, Akman, Baylin & Coleman, in Timonium MD, joins Talking Tax host Andrea L. Ben-Yosef to talk about the complicated subject of §199A, a tax code provision added by the 2017 tax act, and the proposed regulations, released on August 8, implementing §199A’s 20% deduction for businesses taxpayers own directly and indirectly through interests in pass-through entities.” The proposed regulations provide more insight into the definition of a trade or business, which is crucial in determining whether the business owner can take the deduction. For more information, please see the article by Jim Kehl, §199A Gets an Update Three Months After Its Enactment (Bloomberg TM Memorandum (April 16, 2018).

5. If Lina Khan's FTC Bans Noncompete Clauses, What Happens Next?

In the conclusion of UnCommon Law's season-long exploration of noncompete agreements, we look at the Federal Trade Commission's authority to ban the clauses nationwide. We’ve reviewed how the ban would work and explored the policy arguments for and against it. Now we delve into a more fundamental question: Does the FTC even have the power to make a substantive rule like this one? It's been 50 years since the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the FTC has substantive rulemaking power. We’ll learn about that case — National Petroleum Refiners Association v. FTC — we’ll find out why it’s so important to the FTC, and we’ll hear why many believe it would not turn out the same way today. But that's not all! Even if courts follow National Petroleum, could the FTC get past the major questions doctrine? The season finale of UnCommon Law features: Richard Pierce, professor at the George Washington University Law School Dan Papscun, antitrust reporter for Bloomberg Law Sean Heather, senior vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Sandeep Vaheesan, legal director at the Open Markets Institute Orly Lobel, professor at the University of San Diego School of Law Matt's baby *** Host/Producer: Matthew S.
