Theatres Win In Tax Contest
The Alabama Supreme Court reversed a Montgomery ruling, freeing motion picture operators from the 2 percent use tax on film rentals. Paramount-Richards Theatres Inc. escapes the levy while the sales tax remains in effect. The court ruled rentals are not subject to the use tax, noting no legislative intent to tax bona fide rentals and that theater gross receipts are already taxed.
