Michigan Chain Tax Appeals to U S Supreme Court
Lansing Mich June 14 chain store operators have been granted permission by the Michigan Supreme Court to appeal the state chain tax case to the United States Supreme Court over constitutionality. The law exempts chain gasoline stations from payment of the tax and the chain stores argue this makes the law unconstitutional. The Michigan Supreme Court recently upheld the law. The chain stores have 40 days to appear and file pleas. State Attorney General Harry S Toy, Secretary of State Orville E Atwood and the chain gas stations defend the action. The outcome could determine whether chain stores convert to chain gasoline stations to gain exemption. The tax ranges from $10 per store for small chains to $250 per store for large chains.
