Farmers Creamery Co. v. Commissioner

United States Tax Court

Decided May 9, 1952No. Docket No. 21672PublishedCited by 42 opinions

Denial of relief under section 722 sustained where petitioner failed to prove a change in the character of its business within section 722 (b) (4), and where it failed to establish that it would have realized substantially increased earnings if the events on which it relied had occurred 2 years earlier or that it was entitled to constructive earnings resulting in a larger excess profits tax credit than the credits it used under the invested capital method.

OPINION.

Kaum, J'udge:

Applications for excess profits tax relief under section 722 of the Internal Revenue Code,6 based on a “push-back” claim within subsection (.b) (4) thereof, were filed by petitioner for the calendar years 1942 through 1945. Eespondent denied these applications, and, on the record before us, we think his determination must be sustained, not only because petitioner has failed to prove a change in the character of its business within (b) (4), but also because it has not shown that its excess profits tax is excessive and discriminatory or that it is entitled to excess profits…
