The Solely-For-Voting-Stock Requirement In "B" Reorganizations Satisfied By Cash Payments For Fractional Shares-Mills V. Commissioner, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Internal Revenue Code requires recognition of gains or losses realized upon a sale or exchange of property.

Taxpayer was the sole stockholder of International Dairy Supply Company. In 1952, Foremost Dairies, Inc. acquired from taxpayer all his stock in Supply Company in exchange for 82,375 shares of Foremast's common stock and 3,000,000 dollars cash. Taxpayer reported as gain from the transaction only the 3,000,000 dollars "boot" received, less allowable expenses. The Commissioner determined a deficiency of 278,823 dollars, asserting that the nonrecognition provision of the 1939 Code counterpart of section 356 (a) (1) was inapplicable and therefore taxpayer's entire gain realized on the disposition must be recognized. The Tax Court upheld taxpayer's contention that by virtue of …
