A Digest And Index Of Tax Cases

Excerpt from Digest of American Income Tax Cases The purpose of this book is to provide in convenient form an index-digest of all decisions of courts in the United States, and of the Attorneys General of the United States, bearing upon questions of income taxation. Since conceivably every controversy of law, with the possible exception of those controversies involving criminal law, or the law of damages, bears in some degree upon the proper solution of a question of income tax law, the scope of this work has been restricted to cases dealing primarily with income tax problems. The book does not, therefore, contain the vast number of cases which have dealt with the ascertainment of income or profits or with other related questions in connection with problems other than taxation. Nor has there been included in that section devoted to practice, all of the cases bearing on internal revenue penalties, although it is true that income tax penalties are governed by principles no different from those controlling similar questions in connection with other taxes. However, when necessary to cover some point of practice commonly met with, cases outside the rigid scope of the work have been included, and it has been my aim to include at least one case, whether or not it is strictly speaking an income tax case, bearing upon every point frequently encountered.

Excerpt from Digest of American Income Tax Cases Naturally a Digest does not treat of disputable questions, but the excellent encyclopedic index and the completeness of the cases digested will afford the careful lawyer an entrance into a field of law not too well explored and serve as a guide to him in one of the most difficult and complex branches of the law. I commend it to the profession as a work carefully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
