Economic Substance Codification Update: Impact on Audits and Transaction Planning

 

Understand the foundational principles of judicial doctrines relevant to taxation, including the economic substance doctrine, and its evolution over time.

As seen in cases such as Liberty Global and Perrigo, the IRS is more frequently asserting arguments based on the economic substance doctrine and related penalties. This webinar will outline the evolution of this doctrine, the history of the IRS' position, and the current cases. This webinar will address this doctrine manifesting in audits, penalty considerations, and how practitioners should evaluate economic substance arguments at the outset of transactions.
