Tax Cooperation; Allocation of Taxes (i) Seller and Buyer agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets and the Business as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns, and making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax return. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes involving the Business and each shall execute and deliver such powers of attorney and other documents as are necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 5.03(e).
Allocation of Tax Liability In the event that any tax is imposed on the Trust, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners in proportion to their respective Sharing Ratios. The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Owners sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and then to pay, such tax as is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization shall not prevent the Owner Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings).
Allocation of Tax Liabilities The provisions of this Section 2 are intended to determine each Company's liability for Taxes with respect to Pre-Distribution Periods. Once the liability has been determined under this Section 2, Section 5 determines the time when payment of the liability is to be made, and whether the payment is to be made to the Tax Authority directly or to another Company.
Allocation of Straddle Period Taxes In the case of any Straddle Period:
Allocation of Tax Items To the extent permitted by section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction for federal and state income tax purposes shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the corresponding "book" items thereof; however, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to Assets with respect to which there is a difference between "book" value and adjusted tax basis shall be allocated in accordance with the principles of section 704(c) of the IRS Code and section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, if applicable. Where a disparity exists between the book value of an Asset and its adjusted tax basis, then solely for tax purposes (and not for purposes of computing Capital Accounts), income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such Asset shall be allocated among the Members to take such difference into account in accordance with section 704(c)(i)(A) of the IRS Code and Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i). The allocations eliminating such disparities shall be made using any reasonable method permitted by the Code, as determined by the Manager.
Straddle Period Tax Allocation The Company and the Subsidiaries will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close each of their applicable taxable periods as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company and the Subsidiaries to close any of its taxable years on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to Sellers for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Buyer for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a deemed closing of the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the close of the Closing Date; provided, that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, property or ad valorem taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated to the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.
Tax Matters Partner; Tax Elections; Special Basis Adjustments (a) The General Partner shall be the Tax Matters Partner of the Partnership within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. As Tax Matters Partner, the General Partner shall have the right and obligation to take all actions authorized and required, respectively, by the Code for the Tax Matters Partner. The General Partner shall have the right to retain professional assistance in respect of any audit of the Partnership by the Service and all out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership as Tax Matters Partner shall constitute Partnership expenses. In the event the General Partner receives notice of a final Partnership adjustment under Section 6223(a)(2) of the Code, the General Partner shall either (i) file a court petition for judicial review of such final adjustment within the period provided under Section 6226(a) of the Code, a copy of which petition shall be mailed to all Limited Partners on the date such petition is filed, or (ii) mail a written notice to all Limited Partners, within such period, that describes the General Partner’s reasons for determining not to file such a petition.
Income Tax Allocations (a) Except as provided in this Section 4.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for Capital Account purposes under Section 4.1 and Section 4.2.
Treatment of Tax Indemnity and Tax Benefit Payments In the absence of any change in Tax treatment under the Code or other applicable Tax Law,
Tax Allocation Prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to determine a reasonable allocation of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Section 2.1(i) and Section 3.3, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree to such allocation and shall reduce such agreement to writing, which agreement shall be reflected in an Exhibit 2.1(j) to be approved by Seller and Purchaser prior to Closing. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and properly execute each party’s respective completed Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and any other forms or statements required by the Code (or state or local Tax law), Treasury Regulations or the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority (together with any and all attachments required to be filed therewith), which forms and statements will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall file timely such forms and statements with the Internal Revenue Service or other Governmental Authority. The Purchase Price Allocation shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account any subsequent payments under this Agreement and any other subsequent events required to be taken into account under Section 1060 of the Code. Seller and Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return or other documents or otherwise take any position with respect to Taxes that is inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be obligated to litigate any challenge to such allocation by any Governmental Authority. Seller and Purchaser shall promptly inform one another of any challenge by any Governmental Authority to any allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and agree to consult with and keep one another informed with respect to the state of, and any discussion, proposal or submission with respect to, such challenge.
