Taxation of stock holdings in foreign corporations case
In a Ohio case the Marcellus A. Lane v Stevenson Burke ruling states that investments by residents in shares of stock of domestically formed or foreign corporations are not exempt from state taxation unless the corporation’s property is taxed in Ohio. It holds the corporations remain Ohio entities, with property tax obligations linked to the shareholder’s stock. The opinion notes both Canadian Copper Company and Anglo American Iron Company are Ohio corporations with most property in Canada, while the plaintiff, a Cleveland resident, owned shares and did not return them for taxation, leading to assessed taxes and penalties.
