The Commerciality Of Non-Profit Hospitals Requires Them To Be Taxed: Bringing The Debate To A Conclusion, Edward A. Zelinsky
The Commerciality Of Non-Profit Hospitals Requires Them To Be Taxed: Bringing The Debate To A Conclusion, Edward A. Zelinsky
Articles
It is now time to conclude our prolonged debate about the tax-exempt status of nonprofit hospitals. The contemporary nonprofit hospital is a commercial enterprise, materially indistinguishable for tax purposes from its profit-making, taxed competitor. The federal income tax and the states’ income, sales and property taxes should treat all hospitals alike, regardless of whether such hospitals are nonprofit or for-profit enterprises. In the interests of equity and efficiency, these similar institutions should be taxed similarly.
As a political matter, nonprofit hospitals will continue to defend their tax-exempt status. Like any other lucrative, vested interest, nonprofit hospitals will continue to fight …

The Massachusetts Fiscal System: Structure And Performance, Padraig O'Malley, Raymond G. Torto
Padraig O'Malley
On November 4, 1980 the citizens of Massachusetts, by a vote of 59% to 41%, resoundingly endorsed a tax reduction plan known as Proposition 2 1/2. All communities in the Commonwealth were faced with an immediate reduction in their local revenues due to the immediate cut in the excise tax that Proposition 2 1/2 called for, and up to 130 communities will have to implement a 15% reduction in their tax levies for FY 1982. Already there are protestations from many local officials that they cannot make the required tax cuts without severely reducing the level of local services. The …

State And Local Taxation Of Interstate And Foreign Commerce: The Second Best Solution, Kathryn L. Moore
State And Local Taxation Of Interstate And Foreign Commerce: The Second Best Solution, Kathryn L. Moore
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Our current system of state and local taxation of interstate and foreign commerce, simply put, is a mess. First, the mere number of jurisdictions that may impose taxes is seemingly limitless: each of the fifty states, plus the District of Columbia, may impose its own set of taxes. In addition, each state may authorize local government units within the state, such as counties, municipalities, townships, and special districts, to assess and collect taxes. For example, in 1994, well over 6,000 separate jurisdictions were authorized to impose sales taxes.
Second, the states may impose a wide variety of taxes and may …
Boston's Fiscal Future: Prognosis And Policy Options For 1984 To 1986, Joseph S. Slavet, Raymond G. Torto
Boston's Fiscal Future: Prognosis And Policy Options For 1984 To 1986, Joseph S. Slavet, Raymond G. Torto
John M. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies Publications
The finances of the City of Boston have been variously affected throughout its long history by regional and national economic cycles, by legal constraints and changes in the state-local tax system and by inter-municipal resource and expenditure disparities.
In more recent years, however, a series of tremors converged to propel Boston's seemingly chronic fiscal problem to the crisis stage. As inflation climbed to unprecedented double-digit levels, an overwhelming majority of the state's populace supported specific limits on property taxes, the primary source of municipal revenue. As a result, Boston was forced to reduce property tax levies by $144 million during …

Kentucky Law Survey: Kentucky Taxation, Stephen J. Vasek Jr., C. Craig Bradly Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Certainly the most publicized developments in Kentucky tax law during the current survey period were those legislative reforms adopted by the special session of the Kentucky General Assembly in early 1979. Responding to demands for relief from rising tax burdens, the legislature enacted H.B. 44 to limit the impact of inflation on property taxes. These legislative changes were part of a nationwide wave of tax reform proposals engendered by voter approval of California's Proposition Thirteen in June, 1978. In addition to H.B. 44, this article will examine selected judicial decisions involving the taxation of intercorporate dividends, the sales and use …

Property Tax Collection Procedure In Washington, Douglas H. Eldridge
Property Tax Collection Procedure In Washington, Douglas H. Eldridge
Washington Law Review
Because of the severity of the situation resulting from delayed and partial property tax collections in recent years, various tax commissions, federal agencies, civic leagues, tax associations, and private bureaus instituted investigations seeking a remedy. One of the conclusions generally reached by investigators of property tax delinquency throughout the country has been that much of tax arrears can be attributed to "the methods that are ordinarily employed in collection." Specifically the phases of property tax collection methods which have been impugned as being conducive to delinquency are: a legal procedure neither carefully devised with the purpose of requiring prompt payment …
Schools And School Districts - School Elections - Tax Limitations - Bond Issues - Qualifications Of Electors Under Michigan Constitution, John S. Pennell
Schools And School Districts - School Elections - Tax Limitations - Bond Issues - Qualifications Of Electors Under Michigan Constitution, John S. Pennell
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff submitted to the school district electors two propositions: (1) that of increasing the tax limitation from 1.5 per cent to 1.802 per cent of the assessed valuation, and (2) that of bonding the school district in the amount of $182,600 for improvements. Both at the registration of voters, and at the election, the qualifications of the electors were tested by the school code. On the tax limitation question, all registered school electors were permitted to vote. On the question of the bond issue, only those registered electors who owned property assessed for school taxes in the district were …

Taxpayers' Remedies—Washington Property Taxes, Breck P. Mcallister
Taxpayers' Remedies—Washington Property Taxes, Breck P. Mcallister
Washington Law Review
The purpose of the discussion that follows is to consider the great variety of procedural devices that were developed largely by the courts prior to the anti-injunction statute of 1931, and to consider them in their setting in the tax machinery of the state. That statute represented an important shift in policy but until it is considered against the background of earlier available remedies it is difficult to understand the part that it will play in the future. Some consideration will also be given to the scope of judicial review as developed by the courts and the relation of this …
Taxation - Jurisdiction To Tax Intangibles - Business Situs, William Stout Gordon
Taxation - Jurisdiction To Tax Intangibles - Business Situs, William Stout Gordon
Michigan Law Review
The appellant, a Delaware corporation doing business in Minnesota, held the controlling interest in the stock of a large number of banks in numerous states. It transacted its corporate business and fiscal affairs in Minnesota and maintained a business office there. A property tax was imposed by Minnesota upon appellant's shares of stock in Montana and North Dakota state banking corporations. Appellant contended that, since Montana and North Dakota had imposed a property tax on the same shares, the Minnesota tax was contrary to the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court held that the shares of stock had acquired a "business situs" …

Taxation - Situs Of Intangibles - Business Situs, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
A manufacturing corporation incorporated in Delaware and maintained a nominal office there, but had branch offices and factories in several states. Its principal office was in West Virginia. All contracts made by the branch offices were subject to approval by the home office and withdrawals from the bank deposits in the several states were under the control of the home office. A West Virginia statute placed an ad valorem property tax on corporations whose bank deposits and accounts receivable were "liable to taxation." The state court applied the statute to the bank deposits in banks outside the state and to …
The Fifteen Mill Tax Amendment And Its Effect, E. Blythe Stason
The Fifteen Mill Tax Amendment And Its Effect, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
This article, dealing with problems arising under the Michigan Tax Limitation Amendment, should be of general interest. The movement to reduce taxes on property is nation-wide, as Mr. Stason says. One form which the movement has taken has been to limit, by constitutional provision, the amount of tax which may be levied on property. Seventeen States already have such limitations and others may be expected to give consideration to like measures
