Landmark Tax Court Case Strikingly Similar to GBV's Approach (Treharne Model)

Historically the US Tax Court has, in some of its decisions, ignored the economic reality of income taxes associated with pass-through entities (PTEs, i.e., S-corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships). Now, the Court has issued a landmark ruling (Estate of Jones v. Commissioner) recognizing that tax liabilities of PTE owners should be considered when valuing an ownership interest in PTEs. Further, the court recognized the value associated with PTE’s ability to avoid dividend taxes. The approach used by the court is very similar to the Treharne Model developed by GBV’s Chris Treharne.
