Ruling Requested on
Corporation Tax Law

Montgomery, October 24-(Speeial.)
Whether foreign corporations that paid a
franchise tax for 1911 under the 1907 law
which has been declared unconstitutional
are entitled to refund is problem
which State Auditor NJ C. Allgood will
submit to the attorney general for solu-
ton.
Thousands of dollars have heretofore
been refunded to foreign corpora tons
for taxes paid in under the invalid act
for the years 1868, 1909 and 1910 The leg
islature Of 1911 came along and passed
a similar franchise tax law placing the
tax slightly lower than the 1907 act. The
1911 act has not been held void Some
of the foreign corporations, however, paid
the 1911 tax under the 1907 law, and are
now writing the auditor demanding a
total refund.
Mr.. Allgood takes the position that
they are entitled to a refund only of
the difference between the 1907 and the
1911 tax, which is quite small. He holds
that they would have had to pay the
1911 tax if they had not paid under the
former act. However, he will ask the
attorney general for ruling SO as to
be certain about it.
