Fiscal Statutes
Fiscal Statutes, in construing fiscal statutes and in determining the liability of a subject to tax one must have regard to the strict letter of the law and not merely to the spirit of the statute or the, substance of the law. If the Revenue satisfies the Court that the case falls strictly within the provisions of the law, the subject can be taxed.
