Pennsylvania Constitution - Uniformity Clause - Excise Tax - Foreign and Domestic Corporations

Authors

Jolene M. Grubb

Abstract

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has held the Excise Tax on Foreign Corporations unconstitutional since disparate tax treatment based solely on a taxpayer's place of incorporation is an unreasonable classification and is therefore violative of the uniformity clause of the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. v. Commonwealth, 360 A.2d 592 (Pa. 1976).
