Summer 1996 Dealer Directions


TAX  COURT  UPDATE

      Two recent cases involve typical situations where the dealerships ended up with tax consequences far different from those originally intended.  One case involved a dealer whose dealership loaned him money  to finance his investments and other personal expenditures.  These loans were recorded as receivables on the dealership’s books.  The IRS and the Tax Court turned the dealer’s financing activities into one huge constructive dividend paid to him by the dealership. 

      In another recent Tax Court case, a dealer who sold out ended up with a much different allocation of the sales proceeds between his agreement not to compete and his agreement to provide consulting services because the price allocation was unrealistic.
