not very sophisticated
While I'm a huge fan of the Q&A approach, this book just does a really bad job with it.The questions offer endless repitition of the same few (very basic) ideas, rather than altering the facts a little to get different results under the tax code.As a consequence, you'll do nothing but get bored trying to work through these questions, even if you're really trying to learn the material (because instead of getting hit with new ideas you'll just get question after question asking the same thing (and answer after answer that is identical, like they were written mostly just using cut-and-paste).Also, this book covers *much* less material than any law school corp. tax course.While it treats all the main topics (incorporation, distributions, mergers and reorgs), it does so only on a *highly* superficial level.
Very Helpful
I found the questions and answers to be a great way to work through the corporate tax rules.I'd definitely recommend it if you are taking a class or trying to learn the rules yourself. ... Read more

Disappointed on S Corp Coverage
I chose this book to get more information on running an S Corporation, and I've been utterly disappointed.The author spends more time telling you the number of words in the tax code then on the meat & potatoes of the information.The chapter on compensation was particularly void of any S Corp information.Overall, I think there are far better sources available.

Good book on incorporating
If you are interested in starting either a C or a S corporation, you'll love this book. I've bought some other books supposedly written by experts and was dissappointed.Read more

Must Have if considering your own foundation
This book comes with a hefty price - I was hesitant.If you are considering the establishment of your own private foundation, this book is a must.It is fairly heavy with the legaleze, but required whenconsidering the thorough discussions of establishing and maintaining afoundation with respect to the applicable IRS tax code.Each topic isdocumented and sample tax forms are illustrated.Highly recommended -needs to be a little more user friendly for the 5th star. ...

No post 9-11 stuff, but still cool
just bought my second copy as a gift to a client cool for the novice
it was worth the money for this book because I now know not to believe the hype when searching for a proper offshore location country - helps you figure out what makes a place a suitable offshore site

a useful text
This is a great book - I would give a hint to potential buyers that I have seen this rather pricey good paperback seller over at Amazon.co.uk cheaper than at Amazon.com (via Amazon Marketplace), and it appears to be internationally available. Good hunting (for the book)...and then good hunting for a tax haven! ... Read more

Great book to add to your library
I found this book easy to read and understand.Each of the topics were described in just enough detail - enough to give you the essentials needed to keep your books, yet not so much that you got lost in irrelevant details.I read it in one day.Sure to be referenced for years to come.

Good introduction to Transferprice Literature
Perhaps the best (introduction) book on transferprices and multinationals I've ever read. Eden provides a good introduction in the economic theory of multinationals founded on the theory of the firm. Afterwards, she presents the microeconomic basis of the effects of taxation on the production process within the MNE. Propositions for a future taxation system in the EU are made, also the unitary concept is evaluated. ... Read more

Good Material, but Too Long!
LeRoy reports that job scams cost governments about $50 billion per year in lost revenues. The most common scams include: Greg LeRoy exposes the folly of these largely unproductive economic policies
At one time or another, we have all been enticed by the prospect of a major retailer, manufacturer or financial services company building a new facility or relocating to our community.As the story goes lots of new jobs will be created and the tax base will be greatly expanded. But rarely are we given all of the facts. As concerned citizens and taxpayers we are at a huge disadvantage.What we are up against in a complex network of corporations, regulators, public officials and consultants.These people know precisely how the game is played and have perfected the routine over the past 50 or more years.The end game is to extract as many concessions from a community as possible. These folks know how to pit one community against another and how to carefully cover their tracks.They are extremely adept at keeping the general public in the dark about what is really happening. It is the ultimate shell game. But author Greg Leroy in on to them.He is been monitoring these issues for more than two decades now. He knows who the players are and where the bodies are buried.
Absolutely True, It's the Way of the World
I find this fascinating book, an expose on communities providing incentives to attract business, absolutely 100% correct, and also absolutely 100% immaterial.

Nothing like It!
The Good Corporate Citizen: A Practical Guide is a very detailed and complete handbook on corporate philanthropy for those corporations that that wish to make a meaningful contribution to the improvement of their communities, but it is extremely useful for individuals and family foundations that want to make a difference as well.Ms. Rubenstein has done an excellent job of raising the questions that donors must answer in this extremely complex area of philanthropy.And the book is just what the title says - it's an extremely practical guide with lots of examples and helpful detail.
A Handbook to Keep
What I appreciate about "The Good Corporate Citizen" is that it is an engaging blend of the very practical ("Why Conduct a Corporate Citizenship Program?" because among other things, customers "are likely to continue doing business with the company") as well as the ethical and near spiritual. In the latter category, eight steps on the ladder of charity are identified from the work of a medieval Jewish wiseman, Rabbi Maimonides. At the bottom level you can do charity with the zeal of Scrooge; at the top, you can help set up conditions such that people can avoid charity in the first place. Author Rubenstein deftly weaves modern-day parallels to all steps. The book is really a handbook in that it provides straightforward information on difficult subjects such as evaluating nonprofits on how they have made use of grants to providing a lot of useful sample forms on budgets, grant approval and "regret" letters as well as letters of agreement with recipient organizations and the basic elements of a corporate giving plan. Rubenstein also introduces new concepts, such as "social entrepreneurism" which is modestly revolutionizing approaches to making higher education more accessible to underprivileged groups in the US (www.collegesummit.org).She tantalizes with brief but insightful discussions on "quality of life" matters such as international and environmental philanthropy. One has a sense that she has much more to say on such subjects and, given the increasingly interdependence of the world in which we live, hopefully her next volume will treat these in greater depth.

Excellent source of tips and sound advice
I bought Jody Blazek's "IRS Form 1023 Tax Preparation Guide" to help me through the maze of filling out the recently-revised applicaiton form for obtaining 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.It was a very helpful book.I kept it by my side when filling out the form, and emulated the examples it gave.
