Supreme Court Declares Double Levy On Death Taxes Valid
The U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that a state of a deceased person's domicile may tax intangibles and that other states with property may also tax. Justice Stone delivered the opinions noting multiple jurisdictions may tax and that corporate stock and income can be taxed by both the domicile state and the state of the recipient. The decision affected estates including the Greens and discussed Newark insurance firms. The court postponed certain Jersey City Mayor Hague case actions until next Monday and adjourned for the summer.
