Update to Chart - Classification of Transactions

2024-08-15

About two years ago we published a chart called “Income Classification”. Today we updated this chart and renamed it to “Classification of Transactions”.

Often a question arises as to the classification of a transaction. For example, is a transfer of cash from a corporation to its shareholder a loan? A dividend? Compensation? Or something else? This chart shows court cases or other authorities discussing how to determine many of the different types of classifications.

Let us know if you think any other items should be included on the chart!
