Abstract
In 2010, Congress codified the economic substance doctrine and created a strict liability penalty for understatements attributable to transactions that did not have economic substance. Recent court decisions have refused to invalidate transactions based on economic substance and have focused instead on other doctrines such as sham transaction and substance over form. This may have implications for the strict liability penalty incorporated into the economic substance doctrine.
