Abstract
The Bloomberg Tax Portfolio, State Tax Aspects of Bankruptcy discusses the three separate legal systems a practitioner must consider: the state tax law, the federal Bankruptcy Code, and the federal tax law to the extent the state tax system is federally based.
Of the three, the Bankruptcy Code is the most significant as it overrides competing state tax law in favor of its provisions and policies. This Portfolio addresses the effects of state tax laws on bankruptcy and provides planning tips on avoiding the pitfalls associated with these issues.
