Illinois Supreme Court Tax Edict Shocks Corporate Levy
The Illinois Supreme Court rules all corporations in the state must be taxed on capital stock and franchise values based on market worth. Utilities and larger firms face full stock and franchise taxation, with Board of Equalization ordered to add to tax lists.
