FA 1: What this subpart does

You could also call this:

“This subpart explains how certain business transactions are taxed and treated”

This part of the law changes how some business deals are taxed. It does this in two ways. First, it changes how these deals are seen or how the money from them is seen. Second, it gives rules for how to treat the people involved in these deals. You can think of it like changing the rules of a game to make it fairer for everyone playing.
