Taxation of Business and Investment Transactions
MGT 412
Course Description:
Focuses on the fundamental concepts of federal income taxation that apply to business and financial transactions typical of most taxpayers, such as choice of business entity; measurement of taxable income (loss) from operations; acquisitions and dispositions of property; nontaxable exchanges; cost recovery; compensation and retirement planning; and investment and personal financial planning. The objectives of the course are not to make students "tax experts," but to educate them on the role taxes play in financial and managerial decision making; provide them with a working knowledge of those principles of tax law that are of wide application and importance; develop their intuition about the likely tax consequences of business and investment transactions; and begin developing in them an appreciation of tax planning as a process for maximizing wealth.
