  • submission to senate Finance Committee taxation of accumulated deferred foreign income
    Social Science Research Network, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jeffery M Kadet
    Abstract:

    International tax reform proposals all suggest some transition from the present deferral system to some other system. As an integral part of that transition, it is expected as well that there will be some taxation on all “accumulated deferred foreign income” existing as of the transition date. This submission suggests two administratively workable mechanisms by which a favorable lower-then-35% tax rate can be appropriately applied to accumulated deferred foreign income that was earned through real business activities conducted outside the U.S., consistent with the Congressional intent of the current deferral tax system. On the other hand, any such accumulated deferred foreign income that has resulted from profit shifting activities should be taxed at the full 35%, including an interest charge.

  • submission to senate Finance Committee why a residence based system is far better for our country than a territorial system that provides a continuing preference to foreign income
    Social Science Research Network, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jeffery M Kadet
    Abstract:

    This concise submission shows that from many tax policy standpoints a residence-based tax system would be significantly better than a territorial-based tax system. Policy issues mentioned include: - competitiveness, - broadening of the tax base so the rate can be lowered, - domestic job loss, - neutrality of physical location and legal ownership of assets, - simplification, and - trapped cash problem.

  • testimony before the senate Finance Committee tax reform options incentives for charitable giving
    Social Science Research Network, 2011
    Co-Authors: Roger Colinvaux
    Abstract:

    The Congressional testimony provides a framework for thinking about the role of the charitable deduction in the federal income tax. As changes to the deduction are weighed by policymakers, it is important to consider: (1) the existing characteristics and policy tenets of the charitable deduction; (2) in practical terms, the allocation of the benefits of the charitable deduction; (3) in theoretical or policy terms, what the charitable deduction is for and whether the theory of the deduction is consistent with expectations; and (4) how existing proposals to change the deduction (including floors, caps, and credits) fit into the current law framework.

  • statement for inclusion in the hearing record of hearing on tax reform options international issues held september 8 2011 before u s senate Finance Committee congress should 1 replace the current deferral regime for the taxation of foreign income wit
    Social Science Research Network, 2011
    Co-Authors: Samuel C Thompson
    Abstract:

    While there are no easy solutions in international taxation, an imputation system offers many benefits over the current deferral system or a territorial system. One of the major benefits of an imputation system is that it will eliminate the bias in favor of foreign investment in low tax jurisdictions over U.S. investment and will eliminate the “lockout” effect. Another benefit is that an imputation system would preserve the U.S. tax base. Under the current deferral system, the U.S. loses billions of dollars in tax revenue, and this would also be true with a territorial system. With more tax revenue coming in every year under an imputation system, the U.S. would be able to significantly lower the corporate tax rate for all corporations. A reduction in the corporate tax rate would lead to an increase in investment in the U.S. by both domestic-controlled and foreign-controlled businesses. By enacting an imputation system, U.S. multinational corporations would no longer have an incentive to abuse the transfer pricing rules by deflecting (1) U.S. income to foreign subsidiaries, and (2) foreign expense to U.S. parents. Such abuses are significant in the current deferral system, would be even greater with a territorial system, and would be eliminated with an imputation system. The case for the adoption of an imputation system in conjunction with a lowering of the corporate rate is so strong that the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee should hold hearings specifically focused on the pros and cons of adopting an imputation system.

Site Location and Conditions "The site is known as Wild Horse Canyon Ranch, originally part of the San Antonio Ranch. The site is located in the Extra Territorial Zone of the city of San Antonio. It is located west of the city limits near Helotes [see map at left]. The site is approx­imately 5,152 acres. This site has been revisited by several representatives of regu­latory and resource agencies and various environmental groups due to its unique­ness, potential to support endangered species, the presence of possibly the largest cave in the county, and for protection of the Edwards Aquifer. ... "The portion of the site along Galm Road contains several active farm fields, ... most of the remaining acreage consists primarily of juniper and live oak. The understory is diverse and includes Texas mountain laurel, Mexican buckeye, elbow bush, flame-leaf sumac, catclaw acacia, and several other species. Along creek bottoms, black willow, pecan, black walnut, American sycamore, button bush, cedar elm, Texas oak, and shin oak were observed .... "1.

Wetlands and flood plains "Several creeks traverse the site. They are Government Canyon Creek, Wildcat Canyon Creek, and Culebra Creek. ... Most of Government Canyon Creek and Culebra Creek and part of Wildcat Canyon Creek are designated as Zone A: Areas of 100-year flood [Federal Emergency Management Agency zone designations]. The areas of the site within Zone A comprise approximately 20 percent of the site." "4. Threatened and endangered species " ... The Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have iden­tified that the Black-capped Vireo and the Golden-cheeked Warbler and/or their habitat potentially exist in the site's vicinity.

The extensive quotation taken from a Resolution Trust Corporation-sponsored report illustrates what is at stake at Government Canyon. The Edwards Underground Water District (EUWD) has rated this site as one of the most sensi­tive recharge areas in Bexar County. For this reason ~ it deserves public own­ership and protection under the Edwards Aquifer Preservation Program.

I trust you are all having a good one and are thinking up cool places to enjoy the outdoors. Thelma Nungesser, Betty Minyard, and I will be attending the National Convention in Estes Park this month, July 21-17. Susan Hughes, a longtime member of our chapter, has 1olunteered to take over as newsletter editor. Our interim editor, Carl Bostek, was reassigned earlier than expected. We wish him well in his new home. We were grateful and relieved to find Susan willing and able to step in. A formal welcome is also in order for our new conserva­tion chairman, Richard Pipes. Richard has an environ­mental background and a great interest in preserving the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Congratulations to our Recycling Committee for their third place award in the Earth Day Proud Partners com­petition . Our entry was the Recycling Center List, updated in April 1991, which continues to be a valuable tool for our community in its recycling efforts. As a result of a coalition of environmental groups join­ing to express concern over the expansion of IH-10 at the Fiesta Texas site and its potential hazard to the Recharge Zone, some productive dialogue has begun with the State Highway Department. It is obvious a change in attitude has occurred, and it seems that future road repair or construction will probably be done with more environ­mental sensitivity. More good news - the Junior League has taken up Mitchell Lake as one of their projects. They will be orga­nizing interested individuals and groups to raise aware­ness in the community about Mitchell Lake and will work toward ensuring that it remains a sanctuary for wildlife, as set out in the Plan for Mitchell Lake adopted by the City. Let me remind you, be sure to see Blue Planet at the !MAX theater this summer. It is awesome. Marge Flandermeyer NOTE: Join us on Saturday, July 20, when a screening of Blue Planet at the !MAX theater will be our July Outing in air-conditioned comfort. Ranning Meeting Scheduled · The Annual Planning Meeting for BAS will be held Saturday, August 17, at the McNay Art Institute, 6000 N. New Braunfels. The meeting will begin at 9 am.

We collected $2,354.42, short of our $3,000 goal, but we had a good time and worked hard on getting pledges. Half of our total will be sent to the Regional office to be used toward statewide projects. The other half will fund the elementary school program, AUDUBON ADVENTURES. Just $30 per school room funds this worthwhile project. Prizes for exceptional achievement in BIRDATHON were awarded at the June general meeting. Marge Flandermeyer received a $15 gift certificate from the Broadway Deli for raising the most money. Leslie Linehan received two $10 coins from E-Z's for sighting the most species of birds. Susan Rust received one $10 E-Z's coin for raising the second highest amount of money. We are grateful to the businesses that provided gifts for excep­tional achievement. Let's continue to support them. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's fund raiser. It takes many people and many hours of work to make the BIRD-ATHON a success. IF BY CHANCE you have not made your donation to our BIRDATHON, it is not too late. While the national contest is closed, we can still use donations to fund additional classrooms. Every member of AUDUBON ought to help on this program. It reaches hundreds of young people each year and can help make a difference for the future. Please consider giving. Contact Betty Minyard, 344-6128, for information. Conservation Committee Monitors Local, Larger Issues Richard Pipes, Conservation Committee Chair, reports a successful organizational meeting on June 27 with eleven members in attendance. Mary Kennedy, Friends of Friedrich Park, reported on the Resolution Trust Corporation's plans for the San Antonio Ranch property. She requested that BAS closely monitor the sales and proposed uses of these properties and what, if any, restrictions will be applied. In addition, she provided an update on unresolved issues regarding the Woodland Hills Hotel/Friedrich Park easement. Ruth Lofgren of the League of Women Voters reports that planning efforts for Mitchell Lake are going forward , but no action items at present. Pipes distributed questionnaires on member interests and priorities. Any new issues will be addressed within the context of issues and activities to which BAS has ongoing commitments. Two issues of national concern were dis­cussed: the proposal to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Ancient Forests Alliance, formed to bring attention to bills currently put forward by the forest products industry. Pipes distributed "Kick the Oil Habit" petitions and provided information for letter writers regarding the Arctic Refuge drilling. The Ancient Forests Alliance Page2 asks for citizen comments on HB2463 and SB1156, described as wish lists for the timber industry, guarantee­ing logging at present levels - even within ancient forests. The bills further seek to restrict future judicial action to overturn or restrict the decision. The next Committee meeting is TENTATIVELY scheduled for August 1. Contact Richard Pipes for more information at 1-512-569-2452. How You Can Help BAS ... Membership -A Dynamic Committee BAS membership is dynamic. In April 1,466 copies of our newsletter, Bexar Tracks, were mailed - most to mem­bers . The number of members fluctuates each month. New members join, some members drop, and people move to different geographic areas, transferring into and out of the BAS chapter. For example, from March 29 t(\ May 2,1991, we received 120 new memberships; from M 3 to May 30, there were 77 new members. The BAS Membership Committee keeps track of all these members and coordinates providing mailing labels for the newsletter. The Committee members also greet people at the monthly meetings, getting names and addresses and providing name tags and introductions. They also perform other member services as the Board requests. Volunteers' Volunteer Needed BAS has received great response to the new member questionnaires. The Membership Committee now needs a volunteer to coordinate volunteer assignments. If you can help with this project - putting the right people with the right jobs-we need to hear from you. Looking Ahead ... Looking Back The BAS also needs a Finance Committee Chair to help us plan for the future and manage our resources wisely, as well as an Historian to chronicle the events of the Society and maintain the Society's scrapbook. You Can Make a Difference If you can volunteer a small to moderate amount of time each month to help with any of th e se duties , t! President, the Board, and your fellow members would ~ come your participation. For more information, or to vol­unteer your assistance, please call Thelma Nungesser, 824-8199, or Marge Flandermeyer, 684-2668.

Audubon has developed an accelerated, hands-on master's/bachelor's degree program sensitive to America's need for knowledgeable, skilled leaders and cit­izens who, regardless of their occupations or interests, are able to relate to the natural world. Coursework is interwoven with outdoor and travel expe­riences, which include hiking, backpacking, canoeing, and ranger-naturalist walks, as well as visits to museums, observatories, archeological sites, national parks, Audubon sanctuaries, education centers, and political offices. Students learn skills necessary to understanding systems and, thereby, increase their versatility and pre­pare themselves for occupations in a variety of environ­mental settings.
