Gates Learjet Nabbed For Millions Of Back Taxes
The IRS assessed Gates Learjet Corp of Wichita for over 4.3 million in back federal taxes for 1975 and 1976 after disallowing about 9 million in exemptions.

The dispute centers on the export arm Gates Learjet Export Corp and whether it qualified as a domestic international sales corporation.
