Supreme Court Case Could Upend US Taxes and Philanthropy

The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could have significant implications for the imposition of a wealth tax on billionaires. The case involves a couple seeking a refund of $14,729 in taxes they paid on their ownership of a stake in an Indian company.

The outcome of the case is expected to be announced next year, in the midst of the presidential election campaign.
