My article, Beyond the Pro-Consumption Tax Consensus

Readers may recall that I posted this article here. I have since rewritten it to make it, I hope, a lot more accessible and reader-friendly, as well as to make some of the conclusions a bit crisper and more general.

The piece has now been accepted by the Stanford Law Review. Joe Bankman will be writing a brief reply, reflecting that my article is in part a critique or response to his article in Stanford (co-authored by David Weisbach), entitled "The Superiority of an Ideal Consumption Tax Over an Ideal Income Tax."

My personal feeling is that the Bankman-Weisbach article significantly advanced the legal tax policy literature and that mine does as well.

Accounts Receivable

Thuriam understands that a successful business depends on effective financial management rather than quality. Our account receivables services enables you preventing long delay between the time of service delivered and payment receipt and thus avoiding diminishing of your business cash flow.

The moment Thuriam receives the client accounts our team analyze the timely filing limits, payer wise breakups (say Federal, Commercial, or self pay), coding issues, and billing errors. Our main focus is on the cash transactions, watching on the aging reports and cash posting. We impose right action on every individual account. We coordinate with the clients seeking clarification or additional documentation. We then review all accounts of normal reimbursement and check against carrier's fee structure.
