Highlights

An advance decision was requested as to whether vouchers covering the Vermont State tax on gasoline may be certified for payment in spite of a decision that held the tax to be unconstitutional as applied to the Federal Government. Payment may not be authorized for an unconstitutional exaction. If the agency believes that it may be faced with a loss of service as a result of this decision, it should refer the matter to the Department of Justice.
