Conflicting ideas
- Procedurally Taxing (https://www.taxnotes.com/procedurally-taxing): Favorite headline of the week: “Tax Court Sinks Depreciation Deduction for Yacht.”
- Tax Vox (https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox): “Congressional commissions generally serve one of two purposes. They either 1) provide political cover for lawmakers who want to achieve a goal but are afraid to act without an external push. Or 2) they are exactly the opposite — an excuse for politicians to duck crucial policy decisions.” Recently, we’ve seen one of each.
- Marcum (https://www.marcumllp.com/insights): In the blogger’s experience (and we concur), “The potential for conflict exists anytime you put two or more people together.” Conflict in the workplace isn’t the problem. Letting it fester is.
- Sikich (https://www.sikich.com/insights/): Matt Doherty, managing director of workforce risk management at Sikich, shares his expertise in creating workplace violence prevention programs.
Over there
- Virginia – US Tax Talk (https://us-tax.org/about-this-us-tax-blog/): As a follow-up to a previous post on TikTok and bad tax advice, a look at some readers’ questions about how the U.S. income tax rules work for taxation of trusts and beneficiaries.

- Tax Foundation (https://taxfoundation.org/blog): The European Commission released “Business in Europe: Framework for Income Taxation” and two associated proposals on transfer pricing and a Head of Office tax system. Is this a one-stop shop or just one more stop?
- Sovos (https://sovos.com/blog/): Come 2025, the European Commission’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) proposals aim to modernize VAT across the EU. One pillar of ViDA is the “single VAT registration,” which would reduce compliance costs for businesses.
