US Supreme Court Denies Review of Oregon Phone "Tax"

Tuesday, December 15, 2009

The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request by Time Warner Telecommuncations to review whether Oregon's percentage-of-gross revenue fees are "taxes" as defined by Federal law.

The Federal Court of Appeals (for the 9th Circuit) said they were unable to decide the case because the Oregon fees were "taxes" under Federal law.

Time Warner Telecom of Oregon LLC v. Portland, U.S. Supreme Court, Dkt. 09-309, petition for certiorari denied December 14, 2009.
