The minority stockholders sold out to Henry Ford; paid Government income tax on the difference between $9,489 valuation and $12,500 received...
Government back income taxes of $15,000,000 to $30,000,000, as may decide the Special U. S. Board of Tax Appeals that has been sitting in Washington. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel C. Roper had no authority to do Ford company stockholders the favor of estimating the tax value of their property. In fine, the Government has never officially decided what the income tax in this instance should have been...
