Taxman takes aim at trusts

Article Abstract:

Tax lawyer Mark Leibler is pursuing tax commissioner Michael Carmody after he discovered letters that reveal that Carmody may have a bias against trusts. Carmody is also accused of encouraging the government to change the status of trusts. Carmody's goal may be to get the government to tax trusts in the same way that businesses are taxed.
