Multistate Tax Alert: California Court of Appeal Vacates Its Decision in Gillette |
On August 9, 2012, the California Court of Appeal for the First District vacated, on its own motion, its July 24, 2012 opinion and ordered a rehearing in The Gillette Company, et al., v. California Franchise Tax Board (“Gillette”).[1] While we do not know the reason for the rehearing because this action is upon the Court’s own motion, it is possibly a response to one or both of the recent petitions from the parties in the case.
Because the rehearing was ordered on the court’s own motion without granting either party’s petition and with no indication of the issues to be resolved, the uncertainty for taxpayers in this area of California law is, at least temporarily, increased.
