Understanding Corporate Taxation, 2nd ed. provides a clear, straightforward explanation of corporate tax principles.  It provides numerous examples, charts of major concepts, diagrams of transactions, and discusses the major corporate tax cases.  It may be used either in conjunction with a casebook or on its own.  Like most corporate tax casebooks, it takes a "cradle to grave" approach that explores the tax consequences to corporations and their shareholders through the life cycle of a corporation.  In addition, it covers Subchapter S, reorganizations, anti-abuse measures, and integration of corporate and shareholder-level taxes. A chapter new to this edition of the book discusses corporate tax shelters.
