States fix excise tax limits on estates of deceased
The U S Supreme Court ruled that states may tax only personal property within their borders when estates of deceased persons are taxed. In four Pennsylvania cases involving Henry Fiack's massive estate, the court held that tangible personal property in New York and Massachusetts cannot be included in Pennsylvania's tax base, and that federal estate tax should not be deducted before state tax. The decision, by Justice Van de Vanter, states that extraterritorial tax action violates the fourteenth amendment because tax power rests where the property is located.
