Rev. Rul. 68-603

The Internal Revenue Service will follow the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in the case of Commissioner v. Mary Archer W. Morris Trust , 367 F.2d 794 (1966), to the extent it holds that (1) the active business requirements of section 355(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 were satisfied even though the distributing corporation immediately after the spin-off merged into another corporation, (2) the control requirement of section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code implies no limitation upon a reorganization of the transferor corporation after the distribution of stock of the transferee corporation, and (3) there was a business purpose for the spin-off and the merger.

Rev. Rul. 70-224: It is held that the transaction in the instant case is an acquisition by X, solely in exchange for its voting stock and the assumption of Z's liabilities, of substantially all of the properties of Z, and is, therefore, a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(C) and section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code. The fact that all the assets of Z were transferred directly to Y rather than through X to Y does not affect the reorganization.
