Illinois Supreme Court upholds tax on trading stamps
The Illinois Supreme Court unanimously ruled the state sales tax on trading stamps redeemed for merchandise is constitutional. The decision overturns a circuit court ruling that would have treated stamps as a second tax, preserving about $3 million in revenue and rejecting the notion that trading stamps create double taxation. Justice Byron O. House wrote the opinion.
