U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear Oklahoma tribal tax case
The court’s decision leaves in place a ruling requiring some tribal citizens to pay Oklahoma state income tax, as Muscogee Nation leaders consider next steps
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review Stroble v. Oklahoma, a case involving whether tribal citizens must pay state income tax, according to KOSU. The decision means an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling requiring some tribal citizens to pay state income tax will stand. The case involved Alicia Stroble, a Muscogee Nation citizen who sought a tax exemption for 2017 to 2019 while living and working within the reservation, according to the report.
Muscogee Nation Principal Chief David Hill said in a statement the tribe is considering next steps, including possible action in lower federal courts, according to KOSU.
