• W293359650 abstract "The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a decision of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas that recharacterized a corporation's acquisition of assets as an acquisition of stock with a subsequent liquidation of the acquired corporation. The appellate court agreed with the IRS and the district court that, under the substance-over-form doctrine, an intermediary's role in the transaction should be ignored, since the was a mere conduit in the acquisition. Under the substance-over-form doctrine, the IRS may assess taxes by recharacterizing a transaction based on its substance. The doctrine can be applied by using the conduit theory, the step transaction doctrine or the economic substance doctrine. Under the conduit theory, an entity may be ignored if it acts solely as a conduit in the transaction. The step transaction doctrine allows the steps of an integrated transaction to be viewed as parts of an overall transaction if one or more of those steps individually have no substance. Under the economic substance doctrine, a transaction may be ignored if it serves no valid business purpose and is used to obtain tax benefits not foreseen by a reasonable application of the Tax Code. These doctrines can overlap, and many times more than one of them could be used to recharacterize a transaction based on its substance (see, for example, Schering-Plough Corp. v. U.S., docket no. 05-2575, D. N.J., 8/28/09). In 1999, Midcoast Energy LP, a natural gas pipeline company, was interested in acquiring assets of the Bishop Group, another natural gas pipeline company Based on tax considerations, the sole owner of Bishop Group, Dennis Langley, preferred to sell his stock rather than the corporation's assets, while Midcoast preferred to purchase the assets. For Langley, although a stock sale followed by liquidation of assets would have required him to pay tax on any gain in his shares, the liquidation of Bishop into Midcoast would be tax-free. For Midcoast, however, the assets would retain their lower, carryover basis. In a direct asset sale, on the other hand, in addition to Langley having to pay tax on his stock gain, Bishop would have to pay tax on its gain, but Midcoast would get a more favorable cost basis in the purchased assets. After a period of unsuccessful negotiations, Midcoast used Fortrend International LLC, an investment bank, to set up what is known as a midco transaction. Fortrend created an entity called K-Pipe, which in 1999 purchased the Bishop stock from Langley One day later, K-Pipe sold the assets of Bishop to Midcoast and thereafter conducted no substantive business activities. After the transaction was completed but before Midcoast filed its 2001 tax return containing a loss related to the transaction, the IRS in Notice 2001-16 made such intermediary transaction tax shelters listed transactions. …" @default.
