Nelson v. Commissioner – The Next Chapter in Protective/Defined Value Gift and Sale Clauses - A devastating loss for the Taxpayer
Watch Now! |
---|
Nelson V. Commissioner is the most important development in defined value gifts and sales since the landmark Wandry case.
In this 22 page tax Tax Court memorandum opinion, issued on June 10, 2020, Judge Pugh ruled in favor of the IRS on an attempted defined value gift and a defined value sale, holding that the donors transferred percentage interests instead of specific dollar amounts, distinguishing Wandry. The court also determined the value of the percentage gift and the percentage sale, which resulted in a gift tax deficiency for both transactions. The case is appealable to the Fifth Circuit.
This 90 minute program will cover defined value transfers from soup to nuts. Paul and Bob will cover all of the important cases and rulings involving defined value transfers beginning with the Fourth Circuit’s Procter decision and going up to the present with the Wandry and Nelson decisions.
