Court Puts Stamp Tax On All Oil Transfers
The U S court of appeals in Denver ruled oil and gas lease transfers in Oklahoma and Kansas are transfers of real property and subject to federal documentary stamp taxes. It blocks Phillips Petroleum Co from recovering 8939.15 paid under protest for 1942 to 1945. The ruling could force payment of new taxes by large and small oil operators on thousands of leases if upheld. The decision disregards Oklahoma law and may go to the Supreme Court.
