County fights tax on going concern value of SA exchange
Bexar county filed an answer in federal court contesting Southwestern Bell Telephone's suit to block tax collection on the going concern value of the San Antonio exchange. The county says the case is improperly filed in federal court and seeks to press for a higher tax assessment, while the company argues the going concern value basis is unjust and discriminatory. The dispute follows a temporary restraining order on $5,461.03 in taxes and a city-rate precedent cited in a prior rate case.
