Georgia Attorney General Affirms Tax Exemption Under Agricultural Adjustment Act

Georgia Attorney General M J Yeomans issued an opinion holding that processing taxes under the Agricultural Adjustment Act are exempt from state taxation for government agencies and states. The ruling cites a U S Supreme Court decision in Panhandle Oil Co v Mississippi and says the exemption rests on state independence and dual federal state powers. The opinion notes costs of tax obligations fall to the state and would be passed along in prices, but states retain exemption for taxed articles. Yeomans says the Georgia case applies similarly to other states.
