IRS Catch that Mole

Article Abstract:

The economic losses engendered by moles have proven a strong point of concern to both the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and major insurance firms. Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code is printed and analyzed because of its affect on superintendent ordering especially where wholly owned subsidiaries are involved. Problems can arise after a few years when holding companies are requested to repay certain fees that may have been supported with standard cost-accounting records at the time. Certain parts of the insurance industry, including groups of small stock firms and informal associations of mutuals are contacting Congress with financial data in an effort to clarify what constitutes unreasonable compensation.
