It will discuss the practical nuances between Federal District Courts, the Court of Federal Claims, and the US Tax Court. It will also use recent cases to highlight topics like the US Tax Court’s Golsen rule in the context of circuit splits or potential circuit splits, the increasing use of the Administrative Procedure Act in certain tax challenges, and the US Tax Court’s expanding jurisdiction over various tax issues (whistleblower actions, passport-related actions, etc.).

- Breaking State Tax News: United States Supreme Court to Hear South Dakota v.
Wayfair... Is it the End of the (Nexus) World as We Know It?
The United States
Supreme Court recently granted cert in South Dakota v. Wayfair, et al., the lead case
challenging the Court’s “physical presence” nexus rule announced in National Bellas
Hess v. Illinois and reaffirmed in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota. While the question
immediately before the Court is whether the motion for summary judgment was
properly granted and affirmed by South Dakota state courts, what remains unknown is whether the Court will take this case as an opportunity to revisit Quill’s physical
presence rule. This panel will offer a primer the issues before the Court in Wayfair as
well as what implications a decision may have for states and taxpayers.
Panelists: Trever Asam, Cades Schutte LLP, Honolulu, HI; Bruce Johnson, Taxometry,

- International Tax Reform.
The landscape of international tax under US law has
changed drastically with meaningful consequences to taxpayers. Newly passed
changes in US tax law champion unique and robust provisions to tackle effectively
base erosion and tax abuse. Additionally, taxpayers will face new limitations on
deductions of business interest expense, with domestic corporate members of
worldwide groups facing additional limitations on deductible interest expense
generally. The new law changes the landscape of international tax under domestic
law, and some of these provisions potentially cause treaty override issues that run
the risk of unilaterally altering current bilateral tax treaty obligations and negatively
effecting relationships with treaty partners. This panel will provide an overview of the
international aspects of newly passed tax reform provisions and discuss some of the
unique issues the changed laws bring to international tax practice.

- The Future State of Transfer Pricing Compliance and Controversy: The Interaction
Between US Tax Reform and the Adoption of BEPS-related Measures in Other
Jurisdictions. In 2018, OECD member countries and a host of non-OECD member
countries will begin exchanging country-by-country (CBC) reports, and in many
cases they will implement revised transfer pricing documentation requirements,
requiring Master File reporting. In addition, countries will start implementing DEMPE
requirements to analyze profits attributable to IP holding companies. Moreover,
current tax proposals, if enacted, may impose current US tax on the accumulated
E&P of many US-based multinationals and make additional changes that may foster
additional tax controversies. This panel will explore whether the implementation of
the BEPS transfer pricing related Action Items and re-structuring as a result of US
tax changes will lead to more U.S. and non-US transfer pricing controversies for US
based multinationals. The discussion will focus on US-based multinationals that
have IP migration structures in place. Further, the panel will consider whether the
expected increased risk of double taxation can be moderated by means of: US foreign
tax credits; Increased use of multi-country mutual agreement procedures (MAP),
including multi-country arbitration; Multi-country APAs and joint audits; Increased
litigation within or outside the United States; Other remedies.

Banking & Savings Institutions
Conference : 2018 Midyear Meeting
Speaker(s) :
|
|
- Chair: Mark H. Price, KPMG LLP, Washington, DC
|
- Equity-Based Mortgages – Debt/Equity/Derivatives or a Combination Thereof? A
growing number of lenders offer mortgages that are designed to share the risk and
reward of depreciation/appreciation in real estate values between the lender and
borrower. For the borrower to deduct payments as mortgage interest, the instrument
must be a debt instrument secured by real estate. Similarly, for the instrument to be
treated as “interest in real property” (so that it can be held in a REMIC or REIT), the
instrument must constitute debt. Nevertheless, the equity-based products generally
comprise of: (1) traditional debt with low fixed interest, (2) contingent interest, and
(3) total return swap. This panel will discuss the issues surrounding these three
components; whether the products should be bifurcated or integrated, and how each
of the borrower and lender should treat them.
Panelists: Yoram Keinan, Smith Gambrell & Russell LLP, New York, NY; Fran Mordi,
Mortgage Bankers Association, Washington, DC; Stow Lovejoy, Kostelanetz & Fink
LLP, New York, NY
|
- Tax Treatment of Cash Advance Transactions. There are a variety of "cash advance"
transactions in which a funding party will provide cash to an operating business in
exchange for a fixed dollar amount of “future receivables” at a discount. The funding
party will then receive a portion of payments owed to the operating business from
its customers until the funding party collects the face amount of the purchased
receivables. For non-tax purposes, these advances are typically styled as non-debt
transactions. This panel will analyze the potential federal income tax treatment of cash advance transactions from the perspective of both the funding party and the
seller of the future receivables, including the characterization of the transaction, tax
reporting by each of the parties, and cross-border considerations.
Panelists: James Combs, Honigmann, Detroit, MI; Brian Harris, Ropes & Gray, New
York, NY; James Clegg, Ropes & Gray, New York, NY

related services, select issues with the BEAT, and new issues with bad debts.

planning and an international tax and estate planner. The goal of this presentation

them and, most importantly, to offer suggestions for addressing international issues
without spending many (likely unbillable) hours researching the issues.

Nancy Henderson, Caverly Pum & Charney LLP, San Diego, CA
|
- Planning for Unmarried Couples. A growing number of Americans are choosing not
to marry. Older adults who have been widowed or previously divorced are deciding
to cohabitate instead of marrying. Even same sex couples that can legally marry may
decide it’s just not for them. It is important that our cohabiting clients know what
rights they are giving up when choosing not to marry. These rights include Social
Security, immigration status, the right to decline to testify against a spouse, joint
bankruptcy filing and protection of spousal obligations, surviving spouse benefits,
benefits under victim’s compensation funds (e.g., 9/11 victims funds), hospital
visitation, and, of course, inheritance benefits including the marital deduction.
Without intentional planning, if one person dies, the survivor is not entitled to any
benefits, notice in a probate proceeding or continuing support that is afforded to
legally married spouses. This presentation will examine these issues, with a focus
on federal tax, and how we can help our clients plan around them, to protect
themselves, their loved ones and their estates.
Panelist: Wendy S. Goffe, Stoel Rives LLP, Seattle, WA
|

- Section 104(a)(2) and the Taxation of Damages Received Pursuant to a
Settlement Agreement. Damages awarded in a lawsuit are generally included in
gross income under section 61(a). However, taxpayers may be able to exclude
damages received on account of personal physical injuries and physical sickness
from gross income under section 104(a)(2). Whether the taxpayer can avail himself
or herself of the exclusion depends in large part on the underlying nature of the
harm alleged in the lawsuit. This panel will provide an overview of the exclusion
under section 104(a)(2) and discuss the limitations on a taxpayer’s ability to exclude
damages received pursuant to settlement agreements.

Tax Advisor/Return Preparer To Do? Part 2. If (absent an IRS audit) a partnership’s
allocations are discovered to have been misallocated among the partners in one or
more prior years, and/or capital accounts have not been properly maintained, can the
partnership not file amended returns but correct things prospectively? If so, when and
how? What are the consequences if not all partners would agree with the changes?
This panel will also analyze the partnership’s tax advisors and return preparers’
potential professional and ethical responsibilities, obligations under Circular 230 and

- Transaction Costs. The BBA rules, which generally are effective for partnership
taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, are expected to be finalized
shortly. When the final regulations are published, it is expected that there will be
an uptick in IRS examinations involving partnerships. As a result, it is anticipated
that the treatment of transaction costs incurred in partnership transactions may be
one issue that will receive enhanced IRS Exam scrutiny. This panel will discuss and
consider a range of issues that arise regarding the proper treatment of transaction
costs associated with a partnership transaction, including which entity (target or
acquirer) may take costs into account; the scope of syndication costs; and the
application of the covered transaction rules in a partnership transaction.
