Richardson's RV Inc. v. Indiana Department of State Revenue
49T10-1504-TA-16
Tax. Grants and denies in part Richardson’s RV Inc.’s motion to strike certain evidence designated in response to its motion for summary judgment. Finds Kyle Richardson’s testimony was relevant because it tended to make the company’s business practices more or less probable. Also finds three written statements from out-of-state customers and David Strom’s affidavit are inadmissible hearsay.
Richardson's RV Inc. v. Indiana Department of State Revenue
49T10-1504-TA-16
Tax. Grants summary judgment in favor of Richardson’s RV Inc. Finds Richardson’s sale of RVs to customers from states without reciprocal agreements with Indiana do not occur in Indiana as a matter of law. Also finds non-reciprocal sales are not a tax avoidance. Finally, finds Indiana Code 6-2.5-5-39 does not apply to non-reciprocal sales. Vacates the Indiana Department of State Revenue’s proposed assessments for Richardson’s for the 2010, 2011 and 2012 tax years.
