Closing asset loophole could add billions to tax collections, IRS says
The Biden administration plans to stop businesses and wealthy individuals from manipulating the value of assets in arcane ways such as using the same assets over and over to lower their taxes.
High-end business partnerships like hedge funds and wealthy individuals such as real estate investors have inappropriately used labyrinthine structures to shield tens of billions of dollars from taxation, Treasury Department officials said Monday
as they vowed to crack down on the practice.
They announced several steps to address a tax planning strategy known as basis shifting,
in which complex business partnerships can move assets from one entity to another on paper for no reason other than to avoid taxes.
“These transactions don’t create any economic activity for the U.S. “Their sole purpose is to reduce tax bills,” said Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo,
adding that shutting down inappropriate basis shifting could increase tax collections from partnerships by at least $5 billion a year over the next decade. https://stocks.apple.com/Ac5vnY8JDQqW7R7Tx0K27HA

"These are not small lies. They are not political hyperbole. They are lies that cut to the core of our entire system of self-government. They undermine belief in our democracy and system of justice.
It is one thing for Donald Trump – a pathological liar and sociopath – to conjure up these lies. He is nuts...
