Notes of Decisions

The $3,000 ceiling on the income tax deduction is limited to each return and a married couple filing jointly may only properly take one such deduction. Newell v. Dept. of Rev., 6 OTR 458 (1976)

This section does not violate equal protection. Newell v. Dept. of Rev., 6 OTR 458 (1976)

Provision of this section allowing federal retirement benefits only limited exemption from state personal income tax while state retirement benefits were completely exempt impermissibly discriminated against employees of federal government in violation of constitutional doctrine of intergovernmental tax immunity. Ragsdale v. Dep. of Rev., 312 Or 529, 823 P2d 971 (1992); Anderson v. Dept. of Rev., 313 Or 1, 828 P2d 1001 (1992)

State exercised its taxing power, not its constitutional taking power, with amendment taxing previously exempt state employee pension benefits. Hughes v. State of Oregon, 314 Or 1, 838 P2d 1018 (1992)
