Tax Breaks and Special Interests
Posted on April 29th, 2009 by Derek Bambauer
My colleague Rebecca Kysar, an expert on taxation and on statutory interpretation, has a post on Paul Caron’s TaxProf Blog about how courts should interpret laws (known as “transition rules”) that provide tax advantages to certain, targeted taxpayers. Unsurprisingly, these payers often employ lobbyists to help them obtain such rules. This raises a number of difficult questions, and Rebecca tackles them both in her post and in her forthcoming article in Cornell Law Review. Well worth a read!
