In its April 21, 2026, opinion, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit affirmed the lower court’s ruling in Liberty Global, holding that the codified economic substance doctrine applies even when a taxpayer mechanically utilizes the provisions of the Tax Code.

The Court previously held in a separate opinion that the taxpayers’ purported captive transactions did not constitute insurance because they failed to distribute risk, and in the alternative, that the micro-captives did not act as an insurer commonly would.
