Lucky owns a maid service that cleans several local businesses nightly. Lucky, a high tax rate taxpayer, would like to shift some income to his son Rocco. Lucky tells all of his customers (who are always timely in their payments)to pay Rocco, and then Rocco will report 50 percent of the income as a collection fee. Lucky will report the remaining 50 percent. Will this shift the income from Lucky to Rocco? Why or why not? What doctrines influence your answer? Any suggestions for Lucky?
