Corporate taxation is widely regarded as one of the more difficult courses in the law school curriculum, one in which students confront a confusing compendium of seemingly random detail. This book takes students behind the scenes of corporate taxation so that they gain an understanding of both the underlying structure and the inconsistencies in that structure.

Its systematic approach, supplemented with numerous diagrams and examples, presents the most challenging concepts in a manner that is accessible. Following each chapter is a comprehensive set of problems along with detailed solutions, allowing students to test their understanding of the material and apply it in real-life situations.
