Walther v. FLIS Enterprises, Inc.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the order of the circuit court granting Burger King’s motion for summary judgment in an action seeking relief from a tax assessment pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 26-18-406, holding that the circuit court erred in interpreting the relevant statutes and promulgated rules to find that Burger King was only required to pay taxes on the wholesale value of the food ingredients removed from stock as opposed to the retail value of the meals.
On appeal, the Supreme Court agreed with the interpretation of the statutes and rules set forth by the Director of the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, holding that items withdrawn from stock by Burger King should be taxed at the advertised retail price rather than the actual wholesale cost - the original purchase price.
