State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper Nov 1933

State Taxation Of Interstate Motor Carriers, Paul G. Kauper

Michigan Law Review

Although in point of years motor carrier transportation is in .ll. its infant stage, it has exhibited such prodigious growth as to take rank today as a business of huge proportions. In 1932 there were in the United States about 40,000 motor vehicles engaged in common carrier passenger service. Their operations for the year produced a gross revenue of $348,000,000, as compared with $612,000,000, produced by electric railway passenger operations, and $376,000,000, produced by steam railroad passenger operations.

Constitutionality Of State Income Taxes, Harold Hestnes Oct 1933

Constitutionality Of State Income Taxes, Harold Hestnes

Washington Law Review

The constitutionality of state income taxation has been considered by several courts with the result that some have held state income tax laws constitutional and some have held them unconstitutional. The courts which have passed upon the question have been confined to a consideration of the provisions of the constitution of the particular state and have held that such a tax is in conflict with the constitutional limitations or that such a tax is permissible as not being prohibited by the constitution. The decision in each instance in which the income tax was held unconstitutional has been based upon the …

The Fifteen Mill Tax Amendment And Its Effect, E. Blythe Stason Jan 1933

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

Michigan Law Review

Appellant, a New York corporation which is engaged in Georgia in licensing copyrighted motion pictures, brought suit to restrain a Georgia tax upon the gross receipts of royalties.

The Right To Enjoin Collection Of Taxes, Saul D. Herman

Washington Law Review

By Chapter 62, Laws of 1931, an attempt is made by the legislature to change the rule heretofore existing in this state relative to injunction against assessment and collection of taxes. From the early case of Andrews v. King County to the recent case of Willapa Elec. Co. v.

State Income Taxation As Affected By Property Tax Limitations, Alfred Harsch Jul 1931

State Income Taxation As Affected By Property Tax Limitations, Alfred Harsch

Washington Law Review

On all sides one hears of the crying need for tax reduction. The owner of tangible property, particularly real property, constantly complains that the tax burden imposed is confiscatory While it has been the political slogan of each campaign that taxes will be reduced the public is beginning to realize that there is no relief to be had in this direction. The "public" demands too much of government today to even hope that such can be realized. The answer to the property owner's plea for taxation relief must be along the line of a new distribution of tax burdens. This …

Taxation-Situs Of Documents For Stamp Tax

Michigan Law Review

A South Carolina corporation had established credit with certain banks domiciled in other states, and, whenever a loan was desired, had executed a note payable to and at the out-of- state bank. The notes were mailed to the bank subject to withdrawal and revocation by the corporation, until actually received and accepted by the bank. When paid the notes were cancelled and returned to the corporation. A state tax collector ascertained that no stamp tax had been paid on these notes as required in South Carolina Acts of 1928, c. 574, sec. 1, and threatened to levy on the property …

Held, three judges dissenting, that the tax was an excise tax levied for the privilege of doing business in a corporate capacity and that a constitutionally permissible …

Jurisdiction For The Purpose Of Imposing Inheritance Taxes, David R. Mason Jan 1931

Jurisdiction For The Purpose Of Imposing Inheritance Taxes, David R. Mason

Michigan Law Review

For nearly half a century so-called inheritance tax laws of the states of the United States have been predicated upon two distinct theories of jurisdiction, many states embodying both theories into their statutes. Recent decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States, however, challenge the constitutionality of such a scheme and indicate the expediency of a review of the extent of state jurisdiction for the purpose of imposing such taxes.

Decedent died domiciled in Illinois, owning the majority of stock in a South Carolina corporation, and a chose in action for a large sum owed him by the corporation, partly on open account, and partly for dividends declared but unpaid. The executors objected to the inclusion of the chose in an assessment under the South Carolina inheritance tax law, but the South Carolina court refused relief, basing jurisdiction to tax the transfer of the indebtedness, in part, on the ground that this property had acquired a business situs in South Carolina.

Liability Of The Entire Community Estate For The Payment Of State Inheritance Tax Where Husband Undertakes To Dispose Of Entire Community Estate By Will And Wife Elects To Take Under The Will, Judson F. Falknor Apr 1930

Liability Of The Entire Community Estate For The Payment Of State Inheritance Tax Where Husband Undertakes To Dispose Of Entire Community Estate By Will And Wife Elects To Take Under The Will, Judson F. Falknor

Washington Law Review

The question suggested by this topic has not been passed upon by the Supreme Court of this state and has already proven troublesome in a good many pending estates. In this paper, the problem will be discussed from the standpoint of the local inheritance tax and community property statutes, without any especial attention to the similar question which arises under the federal estate tax laws. However, while the state tax and the Federal tax are undoubtedly fundamentally different in their nature, it is thought that the solution of the problem as to the state tax will likewise solve it as …
