In this episode tax break, Miller & Chevalier Counsel Jaclyn Roeing interviews Rob Kovacev on the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, Case No. 22-451 (June 28, 2024). The opinion provided a resounding rejection of the Chevron doctrine and the deference previously afforded to agency regulations, and is expected to have wide-ranging effects. Rob provides insights on the Supreme Court opinion, considerations on how Treasury and IRS regulations may be reviewed moving forward, and other thoughts on how Loper Bright will impact the world of tax.

This week, host Rob Kovacev is joined by Miller & Chevalier colleagues Joe Rillotta and Ian Herbert to discuss tax enforcement under state False Claims Acts.
The False Claims Act has been around at the federal level since the 1860s. It generally provides for civil penalties and qui tam enforcement in instances where there is a fraud on the government, and it was actually passed to address procurement fraud during the Civil War. A lot of states have passed their own versions of the False Claims Act, based on the federal statute. But tax controversy and compliance lawyers haven't had to worry too much about the False Claims Act, because the federal statute expressly says that it cannot be applied to alleged violations of the tax code. But then in the 1990s, something interesting started happening: Some states enacted versions of the False Claims Act without any limitation on tax claims (or interpreted their acts to allow such claims). In 2010, New York made a big splash when it expressly amended its statute to allow tax-based enforcement and created a whole component within its Attorney General's office to bring and review such cases. Most recently, in 2021, DC enacted provisions modeled on New York. Some high-profile cases have been brought attempting to redress allegations of state tax evasion though False Claims Acts. And this raises a lot of questions.

In this episode, Loren and Steve speak with Mike Cragg from The Brattle Group about economics and transfer pricing valuations.
Over time, the modes of economic valuation for transfer pricing purposes have become predictable and sometimes rote. Are there other ways to skin the proverbial cat? On this episode, we discuss some possible novel approaches with Mike Cragg, an experienced economist and the Principal & Chairman at The Brattle Group. In particular, we’ll discuss the role that insights from antitrust economics and notions of minority discounts might play in transfer pricing valuations.

On this episode of tax break, Loren and Steve are joined by Simon Webber, a managing director in the transfer pricing practice at Duff & Phelps, about the latest OECD initiatives and what they might mean for transfer-pricing valuation.
We'll speak about the endeavor of transfer pricing valuation as it relates to worldwide effective-tax-rate management, how the last round of OECD initiatives (under BEPS) changed the valuation landscape, and what might happen to that landscape with the two developing OECD pillars (the first of which contemplates some possible formulary apportionment among markets, the second of which contemplates a minimum tax that may be assessed on the basis of book financials).
