United States Tax Court decision announced on Wednesday
The court dismissed attorney client privilege, stating that:
"When a person puts into issue his subjective intent in deciding how
to comply with the law, he may forfeit the privilege afforded
attorney-client communications."
In other words, if a person works with legal counsel within the
confines of the tax code to legitimately minimize the amount of taxes
owed, that communication is no longer protected by attorney-client
privilege.
Furthermore, the ruling states that if the individuals do not submit
attorney-client documentation as required, then the court would prohibit
them from introducing any evidence to demonstrate their innocence.
And the burning of our Constitutional Rights continues unabated....
