Transfers of proven oil and gas properties from individuals to controlled corporations

Code Section 613A(c) (10) sets forth an exception, for transfers by individuals to their controlled corporations, to the general rule of section 613A(c)(9) denying percentage depletion to transferees of proven oil and gas properties. The proposed regulations attempt to provide guidelines to help taxpayers comply, and, although these regulations are not all-inclusive, they should be helpful to taxpayers who must rely on these provisions to prevent the loss of deductions for percentage depletion. Because of some apparent ambiguities in this area of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury's inability to flesh out these ambiguities in its proposed regulations, affected taxpayers should be cautious. 2 tables.
