Ninth Circuit Holds for Government in Altera (6/8/19)

Although this is not a tax crimes issue, it is a hot topic in the tax law relating to one of the most revenue potential sources--transfer pricing.  The tax world has anxiously awaited yesterday's decision by Ninth Circuit's reconstituted panel in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, ___ F.3d ___ (9th Cir. 2019), here.  In a sister blog (Federal Tax Procedure) I have posted a blog entry on the decision:  Ninth Circuit Reverses Unanimous Tax Court in Altera (Federal Tax Procedure Blog 6/7/19; 6/8/19), here.  For those interested in the intersection of administrative law (particularly the APA) and tax law, the case is a good read with a lot more nuance than one might otherwise imagine, and I hope my blog entry helps understand the decision.

As always, I appreciate comments.  Please leave a comment to this blog or email me at jack@tjtaxlaw.com.
