U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
American Bantam Car Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 177 F.2d 513 (3d Cir. 1949)

American Bantam Car Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The controlling question in this case is i whether the exchange under which the assets of the taxpayer corporation were acquired upon its organization in exchange for its stock was one in which neither gain nor loss was to be recognized under Section 112(b) (5) of the Revenue Act of 1936, 26 U.S.C.A. § 112(b) (5). We are satisfied for the reasons well stated in the opinion filed by Judge Hill for the Tax 'Court in banc, 11 T.C. 397, that the transaction in question was such an exchange and that the assets accordingly took in the hands of the corporation the basis which they had in the hands of the transferors pursuant to Section 113(a) (8) (A) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.A. § 113(a) (8) (A).

The decision of the Tax Court will be affirmed.
