CTL Workshop: 'US Tax Procedure and Administration'

Speaker: Leandra Lederman, William W Oliver Professor of Tax Law at Indiana University School of Law, Bloomington, Indiana.

This will be a 1-day workshop on U.S. federal tax procedure generally. This will overview the tax controversy process from audit through litigation, then focus on specific topics of interest. One of the specific topics will be how the U.S. federal government deals with confidentiality of taxpayer information.

We shall cover Internal Revenue Code § 6103, and civil and criminal enforcement provisions.

We shall also learn about the U.S. Tax Court. This is an important and unusual court.

If time allows we shall touch on economic substance and discuss it informally rather than planning into a tax procedure program.
