Substance V. Form Principle In U.S. Tax Law

Abstract

Taxpayers who do not like paying taxes try to find ways of avoiding, if not evading them. They engage in specially designed transactions that one would not normally think about. Sometimes taxpayers’ efforts to avoid taxes work. However, the Internal Revenue Service has a strong weapon, the “substance over form doctrine”, to fight against these efforts. This doctrine, which is also called as the “economic substance doctrine”, is one of the four doctrines that are widely utilized by the Internal Revenue Service and the courts to prevent tax avoidance and evasion. In this study, I aim to distinguish the substance over form doctrine from other doctrines and analyze its use by taxpayers against the Internal Revenue Service

Keywords

Substance v. form doctrine, economic substance doctrine, business purpose doctrine, sham transactions doctrine, step transactions doctrine
