Arkansas Supreme Court Rules Tax on Naval Plant Purchases
The Arkansas Supreme Court held the contracting firm building the Naval Ammunition Depot at Shumaker near Camden must pay the 2 percent gross receipts tax on two diesel tractors bought in October 1950. It reversed Pulaski Chancery Court, which said the United States was the buyer and exempt from tax. The ruling affirms Revenue Commissioner Parker after Kern-Limerick paid the tax and sued for recovery. The case notes the sales to the United States are generally tax exempt, but the court indicates a different outcome in this contract context. The decision continues on page two.
