In their new article with Tax Notes, "The Rarely Used Tax Fraud Theory Behind a Guyanese Politician's Indictment," firm attorneys Joseph A. Rillotta and Luis R. Then examine the U.S. Department of Justice's prosecution of Guyanese political figure Azruddin Mohamed and his father, Nazar Mohamed, and the use of a rarely invoked legal theory to pursue alleged foreign tax fraud.

The authors analyze the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2005 decision in Pasquantino v. United States, exploring the limits of U.S. jurisdiction over alleged foreign tax offenses. The authors also discuss other legal challenges the Mohameds may raise, including allegations of vindictive prosecution. Their article examines the complex intersection of international tax enforcement, criminal tax law, and questions of prosecutorial authority.

In our latest post, firm partner Joel N. Crouch examines the IRS assessment statute of limitations and the impact of agreements extending that period. He discusses the differences between Forms 872, 872-A, and 872-T, and reviews the U.S. Tax Court's recent decision in 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘷. 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘳, which held that Form 872-T cannot be used to terminate a fixed-date Form 872. Mr. Crouch also shares a practical example involving a Form 872-A and the unexpected resolution that followed the taxpayer's submission of Form 872-T.

In addition, a number of Texas cases with significant potential tax implications, have either recently been filed in court or are currently working their way through the court system. Meanwhile, the 2027 Texas Legislative Session is on the horizon with Legislative committees currently reviewing tax topics that will be the subject of the upcoming Legislative session.
