Inheritance Tax Law Faces Supreme Court Challenge
Lansing June 28 Attorney General Oren filed brief defending the inheritance tax law in the Michigan Supreme Court. The case is submitted with doubtful near-term decision. The defense argues the law’s collection costs are constitutional as necessary to enforce the statute and that any partial invalidation would not topple the act. It contends the tax on property transmission is a specific tax not a property tax and would remain valid if portions are struck.
