Supreme Court Orders Refund of Processing Taxes to Taxpayers
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that $200,000,000 in processing taxes impounded must be returned to taxpayers and that the Court did not rule on the Tennessee Valley Authority act or the Bankhead cotton act at this time. The decision focused on whether processors passed the tax to consumers and deferred broader questions to lower courts. The ruling noted changes under the AAA were unconstitutional and that collection could not proceed without proof the tax was not passed along. The decision remanded to district court for a decree enjoining further exaction and instructed refunds to taxpayers. The discussion touched on other NRA and AAA topics and noted a crowded courtroom.
