West Virginia Court Rules Out of State Car Tax Illegal
Judge Frank L. Taylor of Kanawha County Circuit Court ruled the 1959 amendment to WV law taxing full car price for out of state purchases unconstitutional. The tax on Lora D. Athey’s Cumberland Maryland car should have been based on 1700 after trade-in, not 5535, entitling a $115.06 refund. The ruling may be appealed to the State Supreme Court.
