  • Phillip Haupt's knowledge of business and tax law, gained over a period of 46 years, is invaluable to the explanation of the tax law principles in the book. Elke Haupt, who has been a co-author for the last 5 years, brings a fresh perspective to many of the principles and explanations.
  • In our experience this commentary has assisted interpretation and informed changes in legislation and the examples clearly illustrate the tax principles and provisions discussed.
  • We thank all our readers and subscribers who have helped us over the many years with questions, comments and suggestions. This has helped us to create a better book each year.
  • The book is expected mid-January 2026.
