District of Columbia v. Louis Neyman

Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

SPOTTSWOOD W. ROBINSON, III, Circuit Judge:

The question for our decision is whether the transaction in suit was a sale by a corporation’s sole stockholder of his corporate stock resulting in a gain nontaxable by the District of Columbia, or was actually a corporate sale of assets which produced a taxable corporate dividend to the stockholder.
