Supreme Court Backs Payne Aldrich Corporation Tax
The Supreme Court in a unanimous opinion upholds the corporation tax provisions of the Payne Aldrich act as constitutional. The decision ends years of litigation over the tax, which has largely been paid into the treasury from the estimated $27,000,000 assessed for the year ending June 30, 1910. The court limits the tax to the doing of corporate business and rejects challenges to the law, except it excludes Boston’s real estate trust from the tax. The ruling notes the tax is a levy on corporate action rather than on franchises or property, targeting net income above $5,000 with a one percent rate.
