Major Sands Defies Board Over Virginia Corporate Tax
Virginia taxpayers face 2.2 million dollars in corporate taxes as Major William H. Sands defends assessing domestic corporations with no Virginia business. The State Tax Board, led by Governor Davis, ordered him to desist, a ruling upheld by board counsel Oscar Shaw. Sands argues he followed the law and processed 232 million in taxable values for 1916, with 1.5 million to the state and 696 thousand to Richmond.
