Iowa Inheritance Tax Law Discriminates Against Aliens
The U S Supreme Court ruled that Iowa inheritance tax provisions discriminating against nonresident alien heirs abroad are invalid under the U S Denmark treaty. Jens C Nielsen of Le Mars appealed a case after Aners Anderson of Plymouth County left under $15,000 to his mother in Denmark, with Nielsen named administrator.
