Talking Tax
International Provisions in GOP Tax Bill Face Senate Changes

Companies scored wins after the House passed a multi-trillion-dollar tax bill that largely preserved the current tax rates on foreign-earned income. Republicans' 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act created a new international tax regime including a minimum tax on global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, a reduced tax rate on foreign-derived intangible income, or FDII, and a base erosion and anti-abuse tax, or BEAT. Each of these tax rates will go up in 2026 without congressional action, but House lawmakers made slight changes that will result in minimal tax increases. But the debate isn't over. The bill now heads to the Senate, where tax practitioners and companies expect impactful changes to the mammoth legislation, including the international provisions. On this week's episode of Talking Tax, reporter Lauren Vella talks about the House provisions, what companies want to see in the Senate version of the tax bill, and how the legislation might impact US relations with other countries.

He's a great interview, a great American, and you're going to love. Part two. What's the worst place you ever performed? You know what I mean? Just a a dive. We were fortunate that. Speaker 2 00:00:21  We didn't work too many of those because we started had enough success. And we're making a little money on the road. And we I mean, we weren't taking a lot of money. We weren't making a lot. We were existing. We were living paying the bills, but we didn't have to work, and that wasn't our deal. I love, you know, good country, western, two step and honky tonk music, but. And Houston and lady takes the cowboy and but we we cut 28 records, 28 albums of other types of music. Great ballads write wonderful songs. Larry wrote a bunch of great songs, and we made a bunch of great records. But we thank you, Lord. Because they'd have been throwing beer bottles at us. Speaker 2 00:01:06  What Roy started doing done. Enough dying today. I've done enough dying today to get back to the honky tonk songs. We needed the chicken wire. Speaker 1 00:01:17  That. That's when, Roy Clark tells about the time that it threw some beer bottles at him and some other things, and he finally, we went. He refused to go back to that place, and they said, won't happen anymore. And they had the they had chicken wire in there so people couldn't throw things at them. You know. Speaker 2 00:01:36  When he was doing what he was doing yesterday when I was young, I remember that hit record. Speaker 1 00:01:41  That was a great song. I mean, one of the best that was rent. Speaker 2 00:01:46  They said, get back to Good God and Greyhound. You're gone. Speaker 1 00:01:50  Yeah. Thank God and Greyhound you're gone. But yesterday. Speaker 2 00:01:54  Song. Speaker 1 00:01:55  Yesterday was, written in France and, recorded French. And then somebody got Ahold of it and decided to do it in the United States. And then several people recorded it. And Roy Clark was the the most famous of the ones that did. Speaker 2 00:02:13  Great. Speaker 1 00:02:13  Songs. I know a little about music, not much, but, Speaker 2 00:02:17  And I do know that Porter and Dolly are your favorites. Speaker 1 00:02:20  Yeah. That's right, that's right. You got me up two tickets, I said at one time in class, I said I wouldn't take my dog to see Porter and remember it. Speaker 2 00:02:30  And I remember. Speaker 1 00:02:31  Y'all went out. Speaker 2 00:02:32  And bought. Speaker 1 00:02:32  It. You went out and bought tickets and some dog food and a leash and put it up on the the table where I came in. I came in to teach, and there it was. There's one of those, large classes that was in the small auditorium, and, I could look and there was 100, 150 people in there, and you were the only one that had written on your forehead. Guilty. I mean, I could just I could tell that you had been involved, but I liked it. And it was a lot of fun. A lot of fun. Speaker 2 00:03:05  Yeah. I thought I was smarter than that. Speaker 1 00:03:08  No, you had Gilti written all over you. I got it early on. What? What's the best place? You know, I asked you the worst you could, but what's the nicest place? Speaker 2 00:03:19  Dallas, Texas. Anywhere in Dallas, Texas. Speaker 1 00:03:23  Was always nice. Speaker 2 00:03:25  I'm in Dallas right now at my daughter's. We have a love affair with this city. Going back to when we sang gospel music as a gospel quartet. Right. From Odessa, we traveled to Dallas and Fort Worth and Mesquite and all over Texas. But we came to Dallas to sing in Oak Cliff, Oak Cliff, Assembly of God church. Sure. See? Noah. Whoa, man. Speaker 1 00:03:50  Hey, hey. When the religious music. When you were gospels and everything. What were some of your favorites? Because there's a lot of people listening, and they remember when we used to sing hymns instead of being bop of Jesus. Speaker 2 00:04:05  Well, our first song was I Woke Up. I wish I had my guitar. I've got my guitar in there. Speaker 2 00:04:10  I woke up this morning feeling fine. I woke up with heaven on my mind. I woke up with joy in my soul. Because I knew my Lord had control. I knew I was walking in that light. Because I'd been on my knees in the night. I pray to the Lord gave me sight. And now I'm feeling mighty fine. Yes, I'm feeling mighty. Speaker 1 00:04:34  That's good. Speaker 2 00:04:35  So first song we ever learned. In fact, I think we won that talent show. Singing that song. Speaker 1 00:04:40  That's good. But the standbys are amazing grace. And what a friend we have in Jesus. And y'all, y'all would sing all kinds of. Speaker 2 00:04:51  Well, we sang a lot of those songs, like our heroes, the Blackwood Brothers Statesmen Quartet that came through Abilene, Odessa, Lubbock. We bought the records, took them home and put them on the high five and played those. And mom got up on the piano and we just started singing. Joe knew how to, you know, God just said, y'all sing. Speaker 1 00:05:16  And you. Speaker 2 00:05:17  Know, he he gave you the ability to to understand law and all that stuff. You I, I, like I said, I can't spell be much less understand, you know, lawyer doctors. How do they understand all the, Michael Jordan can shoot a basketball? Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler can hit a golf ball. Speaker 1 00:05:41  A long way. Speaker 2 00:05:43  now I'm a I'm a I'm a I'm a better golfer. I'm than he is a singer, I guarantee you that. But God just gave everybody a talent because. And we developed it a little bit, you know, worked, sang in school And. Speaker 1 00:06:00  One year when, Alan White, he had that big party in Dallas headed out to Cowboys Stadium, and, y'all performed in. Your mom was there, and we we left. I was with y'all in a bus. They were taking us to to another part of the city and, had a great visit, and told your mom that you were a great student and everything. And she kind of grinned at me and said, you don't have to lie. Speaker 1 00:06:34  She she had a good sense of humor. Speaker 2 00:06:37  Yeah. I think she found out about that first semester away from home. Well, see, that was my first semester away from home. Curley Gatlin was a firm disciplinarian. Love. I love my upbringing. Mama, you know, wouldn't take anything for it. But, you know, they were firm. And I had to go to Odessa College and live at home for two years. And when I hopped in my 68 Volkswagen In 1972, headed north through Andrew. Boy, I was I was up all the way up to 65 miles an hour, probably on my way to Lubbock. I was free as the first time I'd ever been on my own. So. And like I said, I took too many hard courses, learn how to drink beer and play poker. But I made up for it and graduated and all that. Thankful for them. And they're there. You know, I try to a lot of people say you're just like your daddy. Speaker 2 00:07:29  And I say, thank you. Speaker 1 00:07:31  Sure.

We went to California a couple of times. New York one summer. Yeah, that. Great parents. Speaker 1 00:08:59  Well, it's a great training for you. What? What would you say to any young person that's looking to go into the music business today? Speaker 2 00:09:11  Bless their hearts. I'm. I'm so glad we came along when we did, because. But I can go pull a guy off the street and say, hey, man, we can get a guitar around you and you can start singing and make you a record and get you a website, get you a publicity agent and get you an agent and get you down here singing at so-and-so and do all this. Guess what? So can everybody else. There are just there's no gatekeeper anymore. There used to be a gatekeeper, and that was the A&R artist and repertoire person at the record company. If you couldn't sing and play your butt off, they weren't going to spend 100, $150,000 on making a record because they had to sell them if they didn't think they could sell them. Speaker 2 00:10:02  And they got money back. You weren't going to get a record deal. So there's. And the internet. Thank God. I mean, everybody's getting to live their dream and fulfill, you know, chase their dream and and everybody all chase your heart and. Yeah, we did. We did too. But if it hadn't worked out, I guarantee you I'd. I'd have gone and done something else. I'd I'd have taken that business law, by golly, diploma and walked right into First National Bank. Speaker 1 00:10:33  Well, you you could have been an accountant since you loved accounting so much. Hey, talking about performers. Who were some of the best people that you got to know and got to know well, and that recognized you the minute they saw you and and that were good people and encouraging type people. Speaker 2 00:10:51  Johnny cash. June Carter cash. Roy Clark. Speaker 1 00:10:57  what kind of guy was Roy Clark? Speaker 2 00:11:00  Great guy, great talent, great singer. Very entertaining. Entertaining, a great entertainer, good guy. John and June Cash. Speaker 2 00:11:09  Dottie West brought Larry to to Nashville. Roger Miller. Well, you name all those old guys, and we know them, and they know us. Speaker 1 00:11:18  Roger Miller was, originally from Shamrock. Or somewhere up in between, Shamrock and Eric, Oklahoma or something like that. And, you know, he he can't roller skate in the buffalo herd was one of his big ones. Speaker 2 00:11:35  But you can be happy if. Speaker 1 00:11:36  You if you if you have a mind to trailer for sale or rent, you know. He had a bunch of them. Speaker 2 00:11:43  You know what Roger said? Speaker 1 00:11:44  What? Speaker 2 00:11:46  You know, it don't make sense. That common sense don't make much sense anymore. isn't that good? Speaker 1 00:11:54  It is. Rudy, thank you so much. you've you've been great. You've done so well. And and you really inspired those students when you and you didn't talk with about 7 or 8 minutes and you told them how much the school meant to them and how much it meant to you and what you wanted to do. And I think the only thing you said, you wish that your mom and dad could see you walk across that stage, and that would have been neat, but, well, in anything. Speaker 2 00:12:22  They had the best seat in the house. Speaker 1 00:12:24  They did an ending. What the the thing that kept you from walking across the stage. I was going to ask that. Explain to the listeners what happened that caused you from not being able to walk across the stage. Speaker 2 00:12:40  Well, I had 64 hours when I went to from Odessa College. four of them didn't transfer, so 60. And I was I guess I was close to being a junior or whatever. The one of the semesters we had a couple of concerts in LA at the old Palomino Club in LA. And then we went to Vegas for a week to work in the Vegas Lounge, which was a great lounge. And Glen Campbell was in the main room. Well, I said, good Lord, I can't take that. I can't take that much time out of school. So I took two courses. One of them was Doctor Bowling Corp. Finance, and another one was another. So I just took eight hours that semester and I made a D in Corp. Finance. Speaker 1 00:13:29  That's easy. Speaker 2 00:13:30  To do. I told you the story. He wouldn't give me one point. Speaker 1 00:13:34  I had to. Speaker 2 00:13:35  Take it again. So I just passed three hours. That one semester I got behind. I was behind 12 hours. I made it up the next couple of semesters, but in the spring of 74, I was still 12 hours short. I took four, I was going to take four summer school classes. I took the first two. I'm going to take the next two. And they cancelled that real estate course and I went, oh no. And at that time, you remember, you could not take any correspondence to your last 30 hours. It had to be on campus. Right. And I said, I'm going to Nashville. I'm going to sing, I can I'm not I can't stick around here for three hours. They said they made an exception. I thank them, thank you, Texas Tech. I took the course. I went to Nashville, sent my lessons in, came back home in December, drove to Lubbock, took the test, passed it, finished all 130 hours. Speaker 2 00:14:37  Right? Speaker 1 00:14:38  Right. Speaker 2 00:14:40  And so it's December 74th, but I got them all in. That's why I didn't get to walk. And those turkeys that taught me how to drink beer and play poker, they graduated on time and walked that May. I just got through talking to them a couple of days ago. Speaker 1 00:14:57  Well, they had learned they had those first two years to learn how to do it. And you didn't have those two years you were still at home. Speaker 2 00:15:05  I was ready. I was a rookie. They were they were. Speaker 1 00:15:09  They were. Speaker 2 00:15:09  Professional veterans. Speaker 1 00:15:11  That's the reason you got to be careful on New Year's Eve, because the amateur drunks will be out and they'll run over you. You know. Speaker 2 00:15:17  They'll screw up the weave. Speaker 1 00:15:19  That's right. They'll mess up the weave. Speaker 2 00:15:21  That's that. That's why straight people don't go. That's why I don't go drive. Because when I'm driving straight, I'm going to mess up the weave. Speaker 1 00:15:28  Yeah, mess them up. Rudy, thank you very much. We've enjoyed it. Speaker 1 00:15:33  And thank you. Tell your friends to listen to the Ken Hance, best storyteller in Texas. And they'll get to hear people like Rudy Gatlin.

On this day, June 20th, in legal history, Lizzie Borden was found not guilty of the murders of her stepmother and father.Lizzie Borden, born in 1860, stood trial for the murders of her stepmother and father in 1892. Although she was acquitted, she remains infamous for the crimes. The murders took place in Fall River, Massachusetts, on August 4, 1892, with Lizzie's father found on the living room couch and her stepmother in an upstairs bedroom. Both victims had been struck in the head with a hatchet. Lizzie claimed to have discovered her father's body shortly after he returned home, while the maid found the stepmother's body.Lizzie had a strained relationship with her stepmother and had conflicts with her father over property division and the killing of her pigeons. Prior to the murders, the entire family fell ill, leading Mrs. Borden to suspect foul play. However, it was later determined that they had contracted food poisoning. Lizzie was arrested on August 11, 1892, indicted by a grand jury, and her trial began in June 1893. The hatchet used in the murders was found but lacked evidence, and the police mishandled the collection of fingerprint evidence.During the investigation, no blood-stained clothing was discovered, but it was reported that Lizzie burned a blue dress that had been stained with paint. Due to a lack of evidence and certain testimonies being excluded, Lizzie Borden was acquitted on June 20, 1863. After the trial, Lizzie and her sister Emma lived together but eventually grew apart. Lizzie spent her last years unwell and her death went largely unnoticed. Speculation and theories abound regarding Lizzie's guilt, ranging from the maid committing the murders to Lizzie experiencing fugue state seizures. She is probably best remember by folks of a certain age for her prominent place in a rope-skipping rhyme that referenced the murders, which I won't repeat here. A federal court in Louisiana has rejected Tesla's complaint against the state's ban on direct car sales. Tesla had filed a lawsuit arguing that the restriction on selling vehicles directly to consumers was protectionist and anticompetitive. However, the court ruled that the ban applied to all manufacturers equally, and Tesla failed to demonstrate any bias against the company by the Louisiana Legislature. This decision is part of Tesla's broader efforts to challenge direct sales bans in various states as it seeks to sell vehicles online or through its own stores instead of traditional dealerships.Last week Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a similar bill that, there, excepted electric powered vehicles – which amounted to an exception for Tesla. The Florida legislation requires car manufacturers to rely on franchised dealerships for sales, but allows companies that already sell directly to customers, such as Tesla, to continue doing so. DeSantis and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have a friendly relationship, with Musk hosting DeSantis' presidential-campaign launch on Twitter. While traditional automakers still rely on dealerships, electric-car companies have been leading the way in direct-to-consumer sales.Tesla loses bid to overturn Louisiana's ban on direct car sales | ReutersRon DeSantis signed a bill that banned direct-to-consumer car sales in Florida — but left an exception for TeslaGoogle has filed a lawsuit against a Los Angeles man, Ethan QiQi Hu, and his companies, alleging that he created numerous fake business listings on Google's platforms and sold them to real businesses to deceive customers. The lawsuit claims that Hu used props during video calls with Google agents to verify the sham businesses, such as a tool bench for garage repair listings and essential oils for fake aromatherapy businesses. Google accuses Hu of purchasing thousands of fake positive reviews to make the businesses seem legitimate. The company seeks monetary damages and an order to block Hu's alleged misconduct.Fake reviews and the mills that generate them are an ongoing problem for online retailers. Amazon has filed legal complaints in Italy and Spain as part of its own global efforts to combat fake review brokers. Amazon is targeting individuals and operators involved in selling or facilitating fake reviews on its platform. In Italy, Amazon is pursuing a high-profile broker who allegedly built a network of individuals to post fake five-star reviews in exchange for a full refund, while in Spain, the company filed a civil complaint against AgenciaReviews for reimbursing customers in exchange for fake reviews. Amazon's actions in Europe are in addition to the increasing number of lawsuits filed in the United States.New Google lawsuit aims to curb fake business reviews | ReutersAmazon files legal complaints in Italy, Spain against fake review brokers | ReutersThe European Commission has put forward a proposal to simplify tax rules in order to prevent double taxation and address the fraudulent practices that led to the Cum-Ex and Cum-Cum tax scandals. The plan aims to streamline withholding tax procedures for cross-border investors, banks, and tax administrations, focusing on interest and dividend payments. The goal is to combat the complex structures used to avoid dividend taxes and seek multiple tax rebates, which have resulted in an estimated €150 billion in losses over the past two decades. The proposal also aims to simplify and expedite the process for taxpayers to receive refunds for excess taxes paid in other EU member states, with the introduction of a digital tax residence certificate and standardized refund procedures. The implementation of these measures is estimated to save investors approximately €5.2 billion annually. The proposal requires unanimous approval from member states and is expected to take effect on January 1, 2027.I have written about the cum-ex fraud in Europe in the past. The fraud, a financial scam for a time exceedingly prevalent in the EU, exploits an information-delay problem in tax authorities. The fraud involves selling shares of a company with dividend rights but delivering them without dividend rights, resulting in multiple rebate claims for a single withholding tax payment. The scheme takes advantage of the gap in ownership information during the dividend payout period. Variations of the fraud exist in different countries, such as Germany and Denmark. Potential solutions to prevent such fraud include utilizing blockchain technology or implementing a shared database among all parties involved to provide real-time ownership information and ensure accurate withholding tax rebates. The solution should incorporate measures to synchronize clearing periods and incentivize parties to verify transaction details–we'll see what the EU has up its sleeve when more details are announced. EU Aims to Streamline Tax Rules After Cum-Ex, Cum-Cum ScandalsCum-Ex Frauds—An Information-Delay ProblemNew Jersey is considering a tax bill, S3737, that would expand the permitted exclusion for the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) structure from 50% to 95%. The GILTI regime is a tax provision that targets profits earned by US multinational corporations from intangible assets, like patents and other intellectual property, held in low-tax jurisdictions; it is intended to curb the offshoring of highly-mobile intangible assets.This move goes against President Joe Biden's proposed budget, which aims to expand the GILTI regime and reduce exemptions. The justification for the bill is to align New Jersey's tax regime with neighboring states, New York and Connecticut, but this ignores the purpose of GILTI, which is to target assets easily moved to low-tax jurisdictions. Instead of gutting the GILTI regime, New Jersey should consider expanding it to include both tangible and intangible assets. By focusing on income from intangible assets, GILTI approximates the percentage of profits derived from them, but including tangible assets would create a more sensible proposal. Engaging in tax races to the bottom with neighboring states only benefits multinational corporations, while New Jersey could increase revenue by closing loopholes that allow profit shifting to low-tax jurisdictions. The bill also proposes changes to allocation factors for corporate filers and the adoption of the economic nexus threshold established under South Dakota v. Wayfair. However, these proposals are unrelated to the issues surrounding the GILTI regime. Expanding GILTI to include income from tangible assets would create a more effective and fair system and help onshore assets that would otherwise be lost to low-tax jurisdictions. New Jersey Tax Bill a Major Step Backward for Recovery Efforts Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

On this day, June 12th, in legal history the landmark Supreme Court Decision Loving v. Virginia was decided. On June 12, 1967, a relatively scant 56 years ago, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Loving v. Virginia. Mildred and Richard Loving, an interracial couple, faced legal challenges when they moved to Virginia, where interracial marriage was prohibited. They filed a lawsuit, arguing that the ban violated the Equal Protection Clause. The Court ruled in their favor, stating that the Virginia law violated the Fourteenth Amendment due to its clear intention to impose racial restrictions. The Court reasoned that the law discriminated against individuals based on race, as it criminalized marriages between a white person and a black person. This landmark decision expanded the Court's interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause and the rights it safeguards, acknowledging that individuals should not be treated differently or penalized based on their race when it comes to marriage.Chief Justice Burger, writing for the majority, held:“The clear and central purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment was to eliminate all official state sources of invidious racial discrimination in the States. …There is patently no legitimate overriding purpose independent of invidious racial discrimination which justifies this classification. The fact that Virginia prohibits only interracial marriages involving white persons demonstrates that the racial classifications must stand on their own justification, as measures designed to maintain White Supremacy. We have consistently denied the constitutionality of measures which restrict the rights of citizens on account of race. There can be no doubt that restricting the freedom to marry solely because of racial classifications violates the central meaning of the Equal Protection Clause. . . .”For perspective, Loving v. Virginia was decided in 1967 – the same year Kurt Cobain was born. Bans on interracial marriage are a relative new thing and, without vigilance, similar restrictions of rights can easily coalesce around other marginalized groups. A Washington state agency and two officials have been ordered by a jury to pay $2.4 million to an employee as compensation for retaliation she faced due to whistleblowing and opposing workplace bias. Kim Snell successfully proved that the state Department of Social and Health Services, Judith Fitzgerald, and Una Wiley violated her rights under whistleblower protection laws and Washington's Law Against Discrimination. The jury awarded Snell $83,000 in back pay, $320,000 in front pay, $201,000 in lost retirement benefits, and $1.8 million in noneconomic damages. The defendants' bid for summary judgment on Snell's retaliation claims was rejected by Judge John H. Chun, as they failed to meet the burden of proving the absence of a factual issue for trial. Snell's protected activities included reporting discriminatory comments and engaging in whistleblowing against wasteful spending and unfair hiring practices.Washington State Employee Wins $2.4 Million for Job RetaliationNew Jersey lawmakers are pushing for a significant overhaul of the state's corporate business tax through a revenue-neutral package. The proposed bill, SB 3737, includes changes to how the state taxes the earnings of foreign subsidiaries of multinational corporations, as well as modifications to the method of apportioning taxable income and determining economic presence or nexus with the state for out-of-state businesses. The legislation aims to update New Jersey's corporate business tax, which has not been modified since 2018. The bill is expected to move forward with an amendment that removes a controversial provision granting the director of taxation broad discretion in determining the composition of the combined group for tax purposes. The proposed changes are intended to be revenue-neutral and operate independently of broader budget discussions, which have faced challenges, including disagreements over property tax cuts for homeowners 65 and older. The legislation also addresses the taxation of global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), expanding the exclusion for GILTI income to 95% to align with neighboring states. The bill includes revenue-raising measures such as changes to allocation factors for corporate filers, adopting economic nexus thresholds, and ending special tax treatment for certain entities like real estate investment trusts (REITs).New Jersey Lawmakers Launch Action on Corporate Tax ChangesMore news out of the garden state, AeroFarms Inc., an indoor vertical farming company known for selling greens in grocery chains like Whole Foods and Harris Teeter, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Newark-based company listed $50 million to $100 million of liabilities in its petition. Existing investors have agreed to provide $10 million to support AeroFarms during the bankruptcy process. The company aims to quickly exit bankruptcy through a transaction with its investors and is exploring additional financing options to maximize credit recoveries and company value. AeroFarms' co-founder and CEO, David Rosenberg, will step down, with CFO Guy Blanchard assuming the additional role of president. AeroFarms attributes its bankruptcy filing to industry and capital market challenges, although its farm in Virginia continues to operate as planned. This bankruptcy follows similar challenges faced by other vertical farming companies, such as Kalera, which filed for bankruptcy in April.Indoor Vertical Farmer AeroFarms Files for Chapter 11 BankruptcyFormer President Trump is in the biggest legal mess of his illustrious legal mess career.Donald Trump is facing an uphill battle in a case where he is charged with illegally retaining classified documents upon leaving the White House in 2021. Legal experts believe that neither the law nor the facts appear to be in his favor. The indictment against Trump includes 37 counts, such as violations of the Espionage Act, obstruction of justice conspiracy, and false statements. National security law experts find the evidence in the indictment to be extensive and compelling, supporting the allegation that Trump unlawfully took the documents and attempted to cover it up. Trump's defense lawyers have not yet commented on the charges.Trump's greatest risk may lie in the charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice, which carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The evidence suggests that Trump was aware of the documents subject to a subpoena but refused to turn them over and encouraged his lawyers to mislead the FBI. Legal experts consider this a clear case of obstruction.Obstruction of justice charges are challenging to defend against, as they offend people's sense of justice and honesty. Trump's alleged years-long effort to conceal the documents likely played a significant role in his indictment. The cover-up is seen as worse than the initial crime, and the conspiracy element in the obstruction charges makes them more serious. Prosecutors only need to prove that Trump collaborated with someone else to hinder the investigation, regardless of the outcome.Trump has claimed that he declassified the documents before taking them, but a taped conversation cited in the indictment contradicts this assertion. The classification issue may ultimately be irrelevant, as Trump is charged under the Espionage Act, which criminalizes the unauthorized retention of national defense information, regardless of its classification status. Georgetown University law professor Todd Huntley explained that the Espionage Act does not care if the documents were declassified.Trump's defense team could challenge witness accounts, shift blame to others, or argue that he was following his attorneys' advice and did not intend to break the law. If the case goes to trial, a Florida jury would hear it, and in a conservative-leaning state, Trump would need just one juror to oppose his conviction for a mistrial to occur. His defense team could also file motions to delay the trial until after the November 2024 election. The possibility of Trump pardoning himself if he were to win is a topic of debate among legal experts.Trump faces difficult odds in classified-documents case | ReutersSDFL IndictmentLong term followers of crypto will remember the rise and fall of Mt.

The team at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is always happy to debate multinational tax issues. And with the way things have been changing in the last two years, it's never been a better time to hit "record" on those conversations, and share them with fellow self-proclaimed tax nerds and those just getting started in the field. “Five years ago, we had a radically different international tax system from what we have today, which may change again significantly in the next year or two," says Skadden partner Nate Carden. “You have to constantly be thinking, How do the planning  I'm doing and the structures I'm creating align with my business objectives? Are they nimble enough to deal with tax rules that may evolve faster than my business?” Two major factors created this dynamic moment: COVID-19 prompted multinationals to rethink their tax strategies. And in the nearly two years since the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed the pandemic, governments that poured money into enormous public funding initiatives are looking for ways to make back some of those expenses through taxes. Meanwhile, the public and lawmakers are paying more attention than ever to how multinationals are being taxed and using tax laws. In this introductory episode of GILTI Conscience, you'll meet your hosts: Skadden partners David Farhat and Nate Carden, associate Eman Cuyler, and clerk Stefane Victor, who is about to be admitted to the D.C. bar.

The issue of taxation is a critical one for Americans living outside the country. David and Rachel sat down with Carmelan Polce (in Australia), who chairs DA's Taxation Task Force, to talk about why this topic forms a plank in our platform. What do legislators at home need to understand about the effects of taxation laws on income earned outside the U.S.? How can it be that American abroad have to pay taxes on such things as welfare payments from our countries of residence? What impact did 2017 tax reforms and the global intangible low-taxed income (known as the GILTI tax) have on Americans living abroad? And where can you turn with questions?
