Rarely has there been such a major difference between the laws in effect in one year and the next. The maximum income tax rates next year could be as high as 43.4% on ordinary income (44.6% if the potential impact of reinstated limitations on itemized deductions is taken into account) and 23.8% on long-term capital gains (or 25% if itemized deduction limitations are factored in).

The Sixth Circuit affirmed a district court’s judgment in favor of defendant online travel companies (OTCs) for alleged violations of local tax laws. The district court had held that the OTCs were not liable for collecting occupancy taxes. It is common practice for OTCs such as Priceline.com, Expedia, and Travelocity (which were among the lawsuit’s defendants) to provide discounted hotel room rates to customers by contracting with hotels for rooms at “wholesale” rates and then booking rooms for customers on their websites at a marked-up “retail” rate that is above the wholesale rate but below the market

You can’t pick up a newspaper or go online this fall without seeing stories about the coming “tax cliff” or “taxmageddon”—the time at the end of this year when the current tax rates for income, capital gains, gifts, and estates are scheduled to expire. Mostly overlooked by the news media are a large number of other tax provisions that are also scheduled to expire or have already expired.
