Supreme Court Orders Refund Of 200 Million In Impounded Taxes
The Supreme Court ruled that about 200 million dollars in processing taxes impounded by the courts must be returned to taxpayers. The decision also left unresolved the validity of the Bankhead cotton act and did not decide the Tennessee Valley Authority act. The case involved eight Louisiana rice millers led by Farmers Rice Milling Co. and noted the government may not require proof of tax passed to consumers to allow refunds. The ruling touched on broader AAA and NRA issues and sent the matter back to district court for appropriate orders.
