Tax ruling calls NC stock tax unconstitutional
United States District Judge J M Meekins ruled North Carolina’s tax on stock in foreign corporations held by NC corporations is unconstitutional while exempting individuals. The decision in Graysburg Manufacturing v County of Pender labels the tax a discriminatory burden on corporations and violates the 14th Amendment. The case began when a sheriff taxed 2 percent on 2525 900N stock in Argent Lumber company, prompting the suit. A J Maxwell noted uncertainty about potential impact if the ruling reaches the Supreme Court.
