Advanced Strategies in Taxation, Fourth Edition

In response to market demand, Principles of Taxation: Advanced Strategies, by Sally Jones and Shelley Rhoades-Catanach, was developed to provide coverage of advanced tax topics. This book is ideal for students who studied Principles of Taxation for Business and Investment Planning in their introductory tax course. The two textbooks provide an integrated two-semester sequence of topics that represent a complete educational package for tax students. Nevertheless, Advanced Strategies is written in a self-contained manner. While its approach is consistent with Principles, the technical content builds on knowledge that students should know from their introductory tax course, regardless of the textbook used. Advanced Strategies explores the tax consequences of many, sophisticated business, financial, and personal wealth-planning transactions.The discussion of tax issues emphasizes the development and implementation of strategies to make transactions as tax efficient as possible to all parties involved. Many of the tax strategies are analyzed in terms of their impact on net cash flows and on the income statements and balance sheets of the transacting parties.
