| Research Abstract |
How tax claims should be treated in bankruptcy proceedings is an important issue of bankruptcy law and tax law. However, this issue has not been studied well, because it requires understanding of theories of both bankruptcy law and tax law. This project is planed to study the issue by cooperating of the students on bankruptcy law and tax law.
These are the conclusion of our research:
1) The priority which the new Bankruptcy Law gives to tax claims is seemed to be fair, because it comes from the balancing between the priority of tax claims outside the bankruptcy procedure and the bad influence of increase of hidden claims.
2) The traditional theory concerning the priority of tax claims which arise after the bankruptcy procedures begin should not be supported, because it cannot fairly distinguish the tax claims which should have the priority and those should not have. This decision should be done following the "ability to pay rule" of the tax law.
3) The withholding duty of the bankruptcy trustee should be affirmed under the condition that the clerical burden of him should not too heavy.
