Stock Dividends Not to Be Taxed
The Supreme Court ruled stock dividends are not income and cannot be taxed under the 1916 income tax act. In a 5 to 4 decision, Justice Pitney said such dividends are not realizations of profits and the assets remain with the company. The ruling requires refunds of taxes collected on stock dividends since the law took effect, though exact totals will be determined after claims are filed.
