Tax on Gas Sales Upheld by Court
Georgia Supreme Court upholds 1929 sales tax act provisions allowing over $100,000 in back gas taxes to be collected. The Standard Oil Company challenged the tax, but the court affirmed, with judgments totaling about $24,260 for back taxes from the company. The decision expands state revenue, noting additional taxes from other large firms could follow. John A. Smith and B. D. Murphy led the state’s defense in Fulton County court and Supreme Court.
