High Court Sets Rule on Indian Taxes
The Supreme Court rules state income taxes may not apply to reservation Indians on reservation income, but off-reservation Indian businesses face state taxes. Mescalero Apache tribe of New Mexico challenged taxes on Sierra Blanca Ski Enterprises, with $26,086 paid under protest and $5,887 disputed on out of state personal property. Justice White notes federal law exempts trust land but refuses to imply general tax exemptions for off-reservation income. ski lift property attached to land falls under immunity. The case references Rosalia de McCrenahan Navajo suit and broader questions of tribal tax immunity and boundaries.
