RS 1971 - Listing and assessing of bank stock and real estate; payment of tax; recovery from shareholders
All the taxes assessed against shares of stock shall be paid by the bank, banking company, firm, association, or corporation engaged in the banking business directly, and it shall be entitled to collect the amount thus paid from the shareholders or their transferees. The taxes on the shares of stock and real estate owned by any bank, banking company, firm, association, or corporation engaged in the banking business shall be collected in the same manner as the taxes on the other property of a like nature are collected. In the event any bank, banking company, firm, association, or corporation doing business in this state, chartered under the laws of the United States, this state, any other state, or chartered under the laws of another country is, by decision of the courts, held not to be liable to pay the taxes on the shares of the shareholders, then the taxes shall be collected from and paid by such shareholders, and each shareholder failing to pay the taxes may be proceeded against in the manner provided for the collection of taxes on movable property.
