Stock Transfer Tax Decision Splits Supreme Court Justices
New York January 27. The stock transfer tax law's constitutionality was upheld by four justices on the appellate division of the supreme court in a test action against broker Albert J Hatch who sold railroad stock without tax payment. Justice Laughlin stated the legislature has power and clarified federal and state constitutional limits. Dissenting Justice Ingraham warned the tax creates inequality by taxing shares at face value not reflecting true value. The ruling mirrors broader tax challenges and notes about related mortgage tax provisions and other state cases.
