ASSESSMENT OF FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.
Reading edition
Inquiries are frequently made at this office as to the amount of tax which a foreign corporation must pay in States where a certificate is issued to such foreign corporations, authorizing them to do business under the State statutes. In computing the assessment or tax the State auditor gets his information from the reports which ought to be filed annually. The amount of tax assessed is predicated upon the amount of capital actually employed within the State, and if no capital is employed, no tax can be legally levied.
