Description

Order, entered on April 4, 1960, unanimously reversed on the law, without costs, and motion to dismiss complaint granted, without leave to replead, and without costs. The unincorporated business tax assessments, which are attacked, were the subject of a formal hearing held by the State Tax Commission with due appearance and participation therein by the plaintiff. Thereupon, there was a determination by the commission of facts duly establishing the liability of the plaintiff for the taxes which resulted in the assessments, and by such determination the commission expressly concluded that the assessments were correct and that the plaintiff was not entitled to any revision or refund in connection therewith.
