UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS ON-LINE

1. Payment made by a corporation of the tax levied by the Wisconsin Privilege Dividend Tax Act, held, for federal income tax purposes, not deductible from gross income of the corporation either under § 23(c) or § 23(d) of the Revenue Act of 1934. Pp. 322 U. S. 529, 322 U. S. 531.

2. The payments were not deductible under § 23(c) as "taxes paid," since, within the meaning of applicable Treasury Regulations, the tax was not "imposed" on the corporation. P. 322 U. S. 529.

3. Nor were the payments deductible under § 23(d) as

"taxes imposed upon a shareholder of the corporation upon his interest as shareholder which are paid by the corporation without reimbursement from the shareholder,"

since, within the meaning of the section, the tax was not "paid by the corporation without reimbursement from the shareholder." P. 322 U. S. 531.
