Taxation Law Books

The most comprehensive work ever written in this subject. Throughout reading it or learning from it one feels that the author has not only learned it from textbooks but mastered it through tough deals, negotiations. Reccommend to every aspirant who wants to become a player in this field. This is a treasure for those non US based applicants who lack the business environment which is natural in the States but still want to make it to a US Stock Exchange

This book is excellent for two reasons.

1. It's easy to use. Right in the front of the book are the things you need to know right away: tax law changes, an index of life events that might change your tax status (in addition to table of contents) and the page where you'll find that info, and the top 10 tax saving tips.

2. It's full of savings information. Each page has a savings tip highlighted in blue with "Tax Saver" tips -- all of which are really useful.

Important for anyone who is prudent enough to be concerned about tax savings year-round.

Finally! It's about time someone created a visual tool for explaining these provisions. Thanks for making them easier to understand!

I found that this author was very thorough and that the book addressed the many tax law changes that directly affect estate planning.

Mr. Shattuck's book, "Estate Planning for Small Business Owners" is the best practical resource I found on the topic of preserving and protecting assets owned by entrepreneur and/or small business person. He offers cost-effective methods for dealing with practical problems that are unique to small business owners. As an attorney, I have gained valuable practical insights from this book. Surprisingly comprehensive for a paperback book.

Everyday Law for Consumers by Michael Rustad offers vital tools to assist small consumers in their struggle against huge corporations. The fundamental myth in American law is that all citizens are equal and the corporation is a citizen just like any other. All citizens are free agents responsible for all choices they make, including all contracts they sign. Consumers are often presented with contracts, written in esoteric legal language, in which they are effectively expected to sign away all legal rights to challenge the corporation. They may be forced to relinquish the right to sue the corporation or be compelled to accept arbitration on the corporation's terms, while the corporation is free to take virtually any action against them. Refusal to sign such contracts will usually result in being denied needed services or products. Despite the alleged legal equality, corporations typically have unlimited resources in comparison to the small consumer, allowing the firm to wear the individual into submission. In many cases, the customers cannot afford lawyers or the cost of litigation will exceed any benefit they may receive, especially if the corporation can afford to continue the case indefinitely.
Writing in clear language, easily understood by layman, Rustad shows the consumer the most effective means of protecting his or her rights against overwhelming odds. He offers practical advice on when to sign a contract and when not to, when to act on your own accord, when to engage a lawyer, how to chose the best affordable lawyer, when to go to small claims court, and when to accept arbitration. This book demonstrates the most effective strategies to use when stuck with a defective product, especially automobiles and home repairs, a warrantee which protects the manufacturer or seller far more than the customer, and what to do when seeking a loan, applying credit or facing foreclosure. Although the law may be warped in the interest of the multi-billion dollar corporation, Rustad emphasizes there are recourses the small citizens have which will allow them to prevail in individual situations, providing they understand their rights and know how to act upon them.
In his previous work, Michael Rustad demonstrated how the movement toward "tort reform" is a disguised effort initiated by the corporate elite to strip the individual consumers of the few legal protections they possess. Everyday Law for Consumers is piece of the arsenal ordinary citizens need in order to confront mammoth goliaths. It is a book needed by anyone likely to be victim of consumer fraud or be confronted by overwhelming corporate power. That is virtually everyone. This is truly a book that I must recommend everyone possess and read. It is superb. I give it my highest recommendation.

This one-volume in-depth reference covers: a perspective on executive compensation; negotiating employment contracts; annual incentive plan design; using equity; nonqualified deferred plans; life insurance; perquisites; mergers and acquisitions; tax exempt employers; special issues for start-up companies; settlement, arbitration and litigation; and much more. The work is detailed and very comprehensive. Includes a special section on parachute agreements, example forms, citations and table of cases, and a detailed subject index. Highly useful for addressing major and technical issues. Our highest recommendation.

Despite the insurance industry's tendency to tout integrated disability and medical management plans, there remains a dearth of available information to guide the interested business manager through the process. The Executive's Guide to Controlling Health Care and Disability Costs: Strategy-Based Solutions provides an excellent overview and in-depth treatment of why companies should pursue an integrated approach toward disability and health care management, and how exactly they should do it

A great book for anyone interested in current taxation of partnerships with up to date examples. Recommended.

I found these cards extremely beneficial in my review for an Income Tax exam. They cover all of the applicable areas and do a great job of illustrating topics with examples.
