About this ebook

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication.

One option is to provide relief through the tax code by adopting measures similar to those employed following past major disasters. Contents of this report: (1) Tax Relief for Natural Disasters Versus Oil Spill Relief; (2) Payments to Oil Spill Victims: Selected Legal Issues and Analysis; (3) Oil Spill Tax Relief: Policy Options; (4) Tax Policy Options: Economic.
